Pros

The people who work here are really great. Despite the constant pressure, teams get very cohesive and fun to work on. The health benefits are very good, but can get a little expensive. The flexible work schedule is nice.

Cons

Antiquated performance management system. Most employees work long hours to accomplish goals, but very few are recognized or rewarded. Functional management is spread very thin and is expected to primarily work on programs. Therefore, employee evaluations, training and career goals suffer. Upper management does not have a clue of the quantity and quality of work the majority of their teams perform.

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.
