Pros

It's hard to get fired unless you violate security procedures or there is a reduction in workforce.

Cons

Much bureacracy and red tape, innovation is stifled. Major salary compression, lousy annual raises. Too many processes, things that make total business sense aren't done and fighting for change is rarely successful. Many bad middle managers. Pervasive culture of not valuing their employees, this manifests itself in many ways.

Pros

Working in certain areas of Lockheed gives you a mission to accomplish - a mission where you feel vital to the support of the country. Also, they have a great tuition assistance program.

Cons

Can't talk about my job. :) But on a serious note, I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon.

Pros

Lateral movement within the company is no only easy, but encouraged. However one has to take the initiative in this. Deep IT infrastructure for every facet of employment from Benefits Enrollment to retirement savings management. Full or partial tuition reimbursement

Cons

Is very by the book in terms of vertical movement. Hard and fast rules about minimum years of experience for each level of employment. As a large, very large company, roles and responsibilities can be very compartmentalized with a narrow focus. Changing one's scenery often means changing to another job on another team.
