Pros

+401k matches are great. +Pay is decent. +Flexible hours are solid (though managers obviously prefer those who stick to the standard 9-to-5 or earlier as it gives them more opportunities to watch everything that you do).

Cons

-Salary raises are no longer based on achievement. They're determined by your level. As such, there isn't much of a drive to achieve like it was before 2020. -Salary bonuses are determined by your sector's earnings, not your individual performance. -Not much room for growth. Managers are not willing to help you out (Level 1 and 2 employees are left in the dust). -Office Politics. -Ergonomics suck (chairs break, no wrist pads, standing desks require a doctor's note, etc.). -Limited work from home opportunities (most positions that offer remote work are only part-time remote, part-time in office). All in all, Lockheed Martin has become a workplace where there's a higher attrition rate of newer talent due to the workplace environment favoring the "old guard". Only apply here if you are already a senior employee with tons of work experience as they don't develop you much.

Pros

Very relaxed work schedule and full remote. Junior developers are more helpful than seniors. Seniors were dinosaurs Flex 4x10 is the best thing here. Every Friday off.

Cons

Upper management / Senior leaders. Senior leaders focus solely on their project (this is how they got to their position). There is no empathy if your manager placed you on 3+ projects. You're gonna get worked to the bone at LM ATL. If you're lucky enough to be on just standalone 1 project, you've won the lottery. Pretend to be busy. Promotions are mostly stagnant unless you're at the Cherry Hill office where the managers are. If not, you successes will get no visibility. If you do get promoted to senior engineer, you have to be OK with 3% raises every year for the next 15 years before you are considered for managerial! Quarter of the staff that work here have been there for 15+ years and they are only L4. The management is filled with "its not about the pay, it's about helping the warfighter". BTW, we don't get mandatory Veteran's Day + Labor Day off! If any of that entices you, make sure you're good at writing because you will be working hard and spending 60+ hours a week getting that next proposal win so your team looks good at the next lab's all hands!!

Pros

- World-class talent that I get to work with - All my managers have been excellent - 4/10 schedule gives 3 day weekends when you don't have to work overtime

Cons

- Overtime is relatively frequent - Palmdale isn't exactly the pinnacle of work locations - overall compensation package is a few percent behind competitors
