Pros

The matching is great, and the work is cool. Good people to have fun with if you’re 25-35~ socially.

Cons

The engineering leadership at the company has a very poor idea of how to handle software jobs. Frankly, working at Lockheed as a software engineer is kind of like actively working for charity. The pay is awful, especially as you get into a mid level position. Performance based promotions are stupidly hard to get, but they’ll give people from other companies $50k starting bonuses. Makes sense, right?

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.
