Pros

Easy Interview and overall good place to learn in the beginning of your career. 4- day work weeks w/ Friday as a flex day.

Cons

Terrible culture when it comes to management. Managers should be evaluated by the people the manage for yearly performance review. This doesn’t happen at Lockheed, which allows for toxic workplaces practices to be left unchecked because HR does not manage these managers out. Too many talented people leave because of this. The company has a problem with retention which ultimately affects knowledge transfer because there are not enough people who can do the job of the person who is retiring. More people retire and not enough new employees come in. Very boomer company. Need to change if they want to remain competitive. Additionally, you need to provide stock options if you want to attract engineers long term. Not competitive for Bay Area.
