Pros

Low level managers are all engineers with little to no managerial skills and/or people skills. This means they do not delegate properly or know how to track what their people are doing. So if you are looking to simply maximize your pay for “actual” work per hour, Lockheed is great.

Cons

The one and only qualification for recognition at Lockheed is years of service. Skills are a secondary qualifier. If you are under 35-40, be prepared to be treated like an idiot.

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.
