Good selection of programs that do cool things but typical big aerospace magagement

Business Outlook
Pros
Very cool programs and technologies Very high quality employees, you're surrounded by a lot of talent Benefits are very good compared to other aerospace companies - start with 4 weeks of PTO, generous yearly bonus and paid vacation times
Cons
on a one week pay schedule, which means very limited flexibility over each week. You essentially need to get in your 40 each week with little ability to flex that over multiple weeks. You have to donate the first 5 hours before you can earn either OT or Comp time, and it's nearly impossible to get approved for OT. To get meaningful promotions to higher levels there is an expectation to donate a lot of hours. The staff seems to be a lot of work-a-holics. Lockheed hubris - they think they are better than everyone. Even their customers. At times they will prioritize what's good for LM vs. what's good for their customer. Management is very slow to react to issues.

Great opportunities, career killing HR and management
Current employee, more than 5 years
Denver, CO

Business Outlook
Pros
Amazing opportunities - if you get lucky Great work life balance, but that seems to be changing If you work hard to find the right position, you will learn things here you can't learn anywhere else (if you don't, you will kill your entire career/or delay it severely) Great if you go in mid to late career with knowledge on how to navigate corporate structure. The absolute worst thing you can do straight out of college for the most part.
Cons
- Culture is moving away from hybrid work and work life balance, turning into hustle culture if you want to maintain job security and have the decent projects - Management and HR is among the worst I have seen in any company - Many times due to HR primarily management secondarily, the smart people are placed in the most humdrum least beneficial positions for their talents, and the less driven but typically from a background of privilege people are placed in the most research heavy positions that the more driven people would enjoy more and be more productive in - Politics here are insane; a few privileged people with over inflated egos and knowledge that does not match the size of their egos tend to control the keys to the make or break career projects. If you aren't in the in crowd, your career is dead in the water here. - pay is well below industry standards (non defense, they only count defense to justify their suppression), large culture of suppressing pay and benefits in the sake of 'efficiency' unless it comes to their executives
