Pros

Strong mission-driven culture working on systems that have real national impact. Opportunities to collaborate with highly talented engineers across software, hardware, and systems disciplines. Good benefits, stable programs, and exposure to complex, large-scale engineering projects that build valuable experience.

Cons

Large organization means processes can sometimes feel slow and bureaucratic. Decision-making and tool adoption may take time due to compliance and security requirements. Career growth can depend heavily on program availability and internal mobility.

Pros

High level of integrity throughout the company, open communications, and sincere interest in doing the right thing.

Cons

Unfortunately, I need to come up with twenty words of cons. When in reality after 41+ years in IT, I have no cons for Lockheed Martin. They are not perfect, but highly acceptable.
