Pros

It's a paycheck, but only if you're desperate.

Cons

1. Bad management has fostered a shark tank mentality. 2. What was once the leading firm for aerospace design/ development now has employees scraping to get charge numbers for every six- minute interval. 3. New employees are left to scramble to understand the work, because no useful design artifacts are kept. 4. Fighter jets with spaghetti code. 5. Management by intimidation. 6. Leads who have risen solely by attrition, with no real skills. 7. If you have an other-than-pearly-white skin color I'd strongly suggest looking elsewhere. 8. The three-inch roaches in the bathroom (Yes, really!) aren't the worst vermin. (But, keep your clothes up off the floor when doing your business! You don't want a hitchhiker. ) 9. Young engineers: Don't count on getting useful experience here. Watch your back!

Pros

Work is great, 4x10 schedule is perfect...

Cons

It's far. I live over 60 miles and everyday in person is hell drive.

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.
