Pros

Standard industry benefits with a really good 401k High deductible insurance sucks You get to work on cool projects

Cons

TLDR: No growth, no rotations and no technical leadership. No technical leadership out of college, really bad management and poor opportunity for growth. This is a company that internally complains about retaining new talent and it’s pretty obvious why. They encourage you to actively grow your own career which is great but do not internally actively encourage it with their actions. It’s hard to not get pigeonholed right out of college in your assignment and no matter what a recruiter tells you, they want you in your first role for two years before you can really transfer. That is of course unless you know somebody that can forcefully get you off your team.

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.
