Pros

The people were fun, the work was interesting, and I had the best manager to date there. Money was ok, benefits covered what I needed them to. 3 weeks paid vacation and 12 days holiday yearly. Good place to end a career at because of the slow implementation of newer tech.

Cons

Not working on newer technologies. When you find yourself in a defense budget cut (and you will) your skills aren't going to translate well to the work force outside the defense industry. The work wasn't technically challenging and my knowledge base suffered considerably because of that.

Pros

Work is great, 4x10 schedule is perfect...

Cons

It's far. I live over 60 miles and everyday in person is hell drive.

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.
