Pros

The size and breadth and diversity of such a huge corporation means that opportunities abound. It can also mean job security, and larger companies are better able to ride out "lean years"

Cons

Compensation is highly variable, and seems to be less about sheer technical competence and more about affiliation with programs that are favored by leadership. It's entirely possible to work on a project for several years and have a favorable experience, then then move to a different project with different management and a different team, and have a miserable experience. It's a crap shoot.

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.
