      A high speed employees take on this low speed behemoth.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lockheed Martin provides a work environment where the work is relatively easy, the requirements are relatively light, and the stress level is relatively low unless you are part of senior management. If you are looking to coast through employeement, Lockheed Martin is a great place to work.

      Cons

      Lockheed Martin provides such a static work environment that does not promote or support the work of excellent employees. It has many of the standard expectations you would find within organizations of this age and size. Glacially slow and old fashioned without a lot of vision.

      Secure work, long hours, below market compensation, and overbearing bureaucracy

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Job security is assured since most of the work is classified and cannot be outsourced. The medical plan is good but relatively expensive for such a large company.

      Cons

      You will work very long hours a lot of the time since project scheduling and estimation is atrocious at Lockheed. Merit raises are not tied to company performance, do not reflect employee's contributions to the company, and ignore if employee has critical skills the company is looking for. Reviews are very slanted to where you are in your salary band rather than what your compentencies are or the quality of your work. And managers are forced to "push" the majority of employees into the "average" rating to keep salaries down.

      If you work for Lockheed Martin, be prepared to work until you are exhausted, and then some

      Pros

      The name recognition the company has; many opportunities if you are willing to pack up the family and move from state-to-state (not something I am willing to do)

      Cons

      HR system is not fair (management gives certain employees what they ask for while others are told that HR will not permit it); job growth is limited unless you move around; most of the jobs are in the DC Metro area; company expects you to work WAY more than 40 hours a week (and if you work in Business Development, be prepared to work at least 60 hours a week with no extra compensation)
