Pros

Lockheed is overall a good company. Since it is a huge organization, the good benefits (work from home, growth opportunities, etc.) really depend on your department and your supervisor. This could really be luck of the draw. Overall, this organization is not high stress all the time, only during deadlines. The organization does a good job collecting to employee feedback as a whole.

Cons

- Benefits Package are average for the industry. For a large company you would expect industry setting standards for benefits. - Limited Growth opportunities. It's really a matter of luck. - Valid individual greivances are sometimes ignored.

Pros

- Exciting opportunities - Working with high-tech solutions - Very defined culture, comfort of business expectations - Supporting our nation's warfighters; feeling to contribute to our national defense - Mission focused

Cons

- Management sometimes forgot who we were working for, despite the company slogan; in decisions, what was best for the company was the primary motivator, and often times what was best for the customer (warfighter) wasn't even a consideration - Management instituted a time recording system in which excess hours worked on a project beyond 40 pr week were NOT to be recorded, resulting in some unethical practices that I didn't feel right about (5-o'clock programs) - No clear path to move up. Despite management promises, it took me quitting to finally get offered the promotion that was denied to me over several years. Had they offered me the promotion earlier, I would not have left to go to another company. - You are treated like just another cog in the huge corporate machine. To the company, you are just a number. That would be okay if the middle tier and local management didn't also treat you that same way.
