Pros

Good benefits, flexibility, decent pay for denver

Cons

Difficult to make a difference or move things in one way as there are several layers of red tape in between you and any action to take

Cons

Benefits are decreasing rapidly. -lower PTO carryover limit -Decreasing remote work -no more 4x10 schedules -vesting for 401 changed to 5 years -difficult to get promoted if you’re not DEI related. Very easy if you are. -actively looking to cut benefits to save money.

Pros

- Good foot in the door if you’re really into space and defense and all that; not much for anything else - coworkers are generally good. Some programs may seem like a pre-retirement home with archaic tools and processes but others are not - relatively good 401K contribution. They match the first 8% of your contribution - best compensation out of all the other big defense companies by far (which says something about how terrible the other companies are) - if the program goes under they try their best to keep you there even if it means putting you on a program that’s less than ideal

Cons

- Low pay: Lower than median pay for Software Engineer. The excuse here is that the contracts are pre-negotiated and Lockheed “doesn’t work like other regular companies”. Please. - Low bonuses: 4% bonus is considered rare and only for the truly exceptional lmao - OK benefits: this depends on the area but generally the benefits are blah - Programs often go under and the process is chaotic - Oh and they completely got rid of their DEI initiatives like cowards
