Pros

Competitive pay + benefits 9/80 Work schedule (9 hours a day, every other Friday off) 401K contribution matching Vacation time rolls over (but capped) Tuition reimbursement, however I have issues (see cons below) Job security (no outsourcing) Great work/life balance. Employees are encouraged to take their vacation time.

Cons

Promotion / Advancement heavily biased towards seniority vs merit-based. Political infighting between groups. Company maintains dead weight employees and shuffles them around instead of laying them off. Bureaucracy and red tape create a slow-moving work environment. Tuition reimbursement only towards a degree program. Why no option to take 1 or 2 classes for professional enrichment?

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.
