Pros
Big company. Decent benefits. Local management will look out for you as best they can. Most people are friendly. Networking opportunities if you're in to that.
Cons
Its government contracting. Basically contracts come and go. Lockheed bids on government contracts and either wins over or loses out to competition. Contracts usually last a few years. Budgets fluctuate, political situations and relationships crop up, etc. In ~4 years, I jumped between 8 different EPA programs in order to keep busy. The local office was in decline. Lay offs will happen. You must also keep track of all your time across all contracts which can get annoying and is subject to being audited internally as we as by government reps.
