Pros

Lockheed Martin is one of the premier aerospace and defense contractors for a reason. They work on the leading technology in the world. They respect engineers and the work we do - I love the flex time, independence of work, and casual dress. It's a great work-life balance with opportunity for flex time and part time work.

Cons

LM is a huge corporation with lots of beauracracy. You can sit in the same cubicle for decades doing the same job, if you're not careful. Low performing employees are kept regardless of the effect on the team. (Which I suppose is a pro if you're a slacker...)

Pros

At least your get pay :-)

Cons

Benefits are insanely high (You will see when you go to orientation) Senior Management looks for every opportunity to rape the customer by overbilling and sub-contracting folks who don"t have any real experience There is no real career growth - you are just a work-horse, so don't think about educating yourself to get the next level

Pros

Great atmosphere to work at for starting out. As an intern I was given many opportunities (as many as the full time employees were given), and they foster an environment for open-thought and growth.

Cons

Pay scale seems low in comparison to other defense contractors (such as Northrop Grumman). They do not offer bonuses, and this is a major drawback. They also do not pay for any extra time off at the end of the year, either you use it or lose it (no compensation).
