Pros

Incredibly interesting work programs, such as aviation, planetary probes, satellites, military systems, information systems, and human-rated spacecraft.

Cons

In my 5 years with Lockheed Martin, among my scores of engineering colleagues I saw just one engineer promoted, and that was at a more junior level. Merit increases are an embarrassment, less than the inflation rate. A broken corporate-wide training tool was deployed which fails to give credit for completed training, then the burden was placed on employees to prove they completed their training. Not only was an apology not made, this disaster was never even acknowledged, a typical corporate behavior.

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.
