Pros

LM provides opportunities to work on large-scale complex projects of national importance. Employees are encouraged to take advantage of training opportunities. Most employees are highly qualified. This organization offers different career advancement paths depending on interests/qualifications (e.g. scientists, engineers, MBAs).

Cons

Annual reviews require managers to identify a specific percentage of employees as poor performers (even if they estimate that some individuals do not deserve to be categorized as such...)

Solid Company to work for

Pros

Lockheed is the largest defense contractor in the world, the company provides all benefits. Training opportunities can be open to employees who are wiling to pay back the time with the firm.

Cons

Since its so large it takes a community to get things done. The company appears to have many divisions with a convoluted structure of management which sometimes can be daunting

Pros

Its a big company - it can absorb bad years better than other smaller companies. They work hard to keep good employees. I've been very impressed with the quality of the management. Lockheed does a lot of cool stuff.

Cons

Business has been in a slump the last few years and there are much fewer opportunities for lateral or upward movement. Compensation is average at best. Lockheed is made up of several business groups, and all are not equal with compensation. (some get bonuses, more PTO, etc.)
