      Pros

      Bob Stevens and team are a great set of company leaders with a clear vision of the direction of the overall company. Management in Orlando appears to be "killing it and bringing it home". Everytime I see LM news they are in it for bringing in another contract worth a couple of million of dollars. They must have over 30-40 contracts in the millions of dollars range if not more. So, if they happen to lose one or two due to government cuts they don't lose a large percentage of business. Smart business model from an ousider looking in.

      Cons

      System Integration Owego goes for all home runs. We had 4 contracts totaling over 10 billion dollars. Now we have 3 and 25% less employees. Thank you management

      Great Company, but the bureaucracy takes getting used to.

      Pros

      As a software engineer your worst fear is getting stuck with a job that forces you to work long hours for little compensation. In my time at Lockheed they have never overworked me and often if long hours are necessary overtime will usually be approved. They offer to pay for your masters, and the benefits are in general pretty good.

      Cons

      It is a bureaucracy which can be frustrating. Sometimes things are a little too close to a Dilbert cartoon. Some projects can be incredibly process heavy, but it varies widely from project to project. Projects often get cut before completion, which can be disheartening and makes getting motivated for the next project difficult. Also the industry in general can sometimes be incredibly incompetent. Often the customer/contractors want to develop their own proprietary technologies that are often huge boondoggles that work no where near as well as off the shelf technologies. Even when they do use off the shelf technologies, they frequently want to wrap these in their own proprietary technologies, frequently making the underlying technologies more difficult to use with less capability and more bugs. Being forced to use those proprietary technologies is very, very frustrating.
