Pros

Lockheed Martin is involved in some of the most interesting projects in the world. There are countless opportunities to explore new career goals and grow as a professional. Many of the jobs are very rewarding, and play a crucial role in the stability of the U.S. and its allies.

Cons

With the predominant customer being the government, the business tempo is erratic on many programs. Many projects operate on long term visions, but short term planning. The volatility both internal, and with the customer, lead to aggressive response times, and teams being ill-prepared to tackle challenges.

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.
