Pros

Lockheed Martin is perhaps the best place to get your foot in the door in the Government Contracting sector. At my site, management is flexible about how I put in my hours on any given week.

Cons

Lockheed Martin has some of the lowest pay in the sector, and the raises do not keep up with inflation. Regardless of your current responsibilities, they will not consider you for promotion until you meet the years of experience required for that position. It is difficult to grow technically here, as money for training and tuition reimbursement is carefully restricted.

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.
