Pros

Work/Life balance is great - I rarely need to work more the 40 - 45 hours per week.

Cons

Yearly reviews are directly related to how much money your project has brought in and will bring in. If you do an awesome job on a project that is cancelled due to no fault of your own you will only get a basic contributor rating, which can be kind of frustrating. Also, your employment is directly tied to a customer contract. If there is no customer contract/project to pay for your continued employment then you will in a very short time find yourself unemployed.

Pros

Lovely location outside of Philadelphia. Safe clean work environment. Volleyball and tennis leagues. Some exciting simulation and modeling work. Tech refresh for some employees. Union for engineers as protection against management.

Cons

First level management is competent, useful, and helpful. Second level management tends towards incompetence. Don't know much about higher levels but assume they are just paper pushers.

Pros

At Lockheed Martin, you get to work on projects that no other company has the technical expertise to work on. You can have opportunities to work on cutting edge technologies.

Cons

Because of defense spending budget cuts, Lockheed has reduced their benefits tremendously over the past few years in an attempt to become "more affordable"
