      Great place to start, plenty of room to move around since it's a big company.

      Pros

      Great place to gain experience if you're just starting off. There are lots of locations around the US and even around the world to move around in if you want. Get to work on interesting projects from time to time.

      Cons

      Lockheed wins some really cool contracts but then manages to handle the execution of them very poorly. There are frequently the "wrong people" making all the important decisions which result in budget problems, wrong equipment being purchased, focus on status reports over actually performing work.

      Great place to learn a lot but difficult to get things done because of bureaucracy.

      Pros

      Lockheed Martin promotes a very diverse and pleasant work environment and stresses inclusion of all peoples as a core aspect of what makes the company what it is. Lockheed Martin stresses honesty and accountability as well. Most divisions of Lockheed have benefits that exceed those of competitors.

      Cons

      The level of bureaucracy in working for a major Defense contractor is astounding. There are two sets of hoops to jump through to get anything accomplished, Corporate and then Government and the two policies generally don't overlap often causing tons of red tape to get the mission accomplished. In general I didn't feel that the best candidates were promoted to management. Senior managers seemed to pick and choose people to groom and everyone knew that those individuals were the ones that were going to be promoted to management down the line regardless of their level of leadership abilities or technical competence.
