Pros

Very interesting work across the company, great flexible work weeks (4x10s are the most common granted that you aren't working in production), better benefits/PTO than competitors, competitive pay for engineers.

Cons

Things can move incredibly slow due to the sheer size of the company - working for a larger program on the production side, often I didn't have control over my schedule and would be working off hours (which is fine), but I would rarely feel appreciated or recognized for doing so. The quality of the management between groups can vary dramatically, and often I found myself on teams with managers overextended on multiple projects without time for my team, leading to poor planning and lack of clear direction on tasks.

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.
