Business Outlook

Pros

extremely flexible schedule, good work/life balance

Cons

Lower pay, employees are lower skilled; this is not a place for IT professionals or new college hires; company does not provide technical training - " do it on your own time". Pension created a "golden handcuff" culture which results in A LOT of employees not actually wanting to be there and more interested in keeping things the same than delivering innovation and value to customers and taxpayers. Security clearance jobs DO NOT pay more - at least in IT at Lockheed. IT careers will languish here technically and leadership wise. Many Work/office spaces have 30-40 year old Furniture and 10-20 yo carpet, etc that is dirty and worn. Work environment is less than average. Many Employees lack social and personable skills which effects culture.
