Pros

+401k matches are great. +Pay is decent. +Flexible hours are solid (though managers obviously prefer those who stick to the standard 9-to-5 or earlier as it gives them more opportunities to watch everything that you do).

Cons

-Salary raises are no longer based on achievement. They're determined by your level. As such, there isn't much of a drive to achieve like it was before 2020. -Salary bonuses are determined by your sector's earnings, not your individual performance. -Not much room for growth. Managers are not willing to help you out (Level 1 and 2 employees are left in the dust). -Office Politics. -Ergonomics suck (chairs break, no wrist pads, standing desks require a doctor's note, etc.). -Limited work from home opportunities (most positions that offer remote work are only part-time remote, part-time in office). All in all, Lockheed Martin has become a workplace where there's a higher attrition rate of newer talent due to the workplace environment favoring the "old guard". Only apply here if you are already a senior employee with tons of work experience as they don't develop you much.

Pros

- You can probably work here for 10 years and never do anything and still have a job if that's your thing - 10% match on 6% 401K contributions. - 4x10 schedule is nice

Cons

- Ingenuity is frowned upon - Doing things "too quickly" is actually a thing - Pay is below market - Benefits (especially healthcare) suck - Management micromanages - Every day will be at least 50% meetings and 25% planning meetings for future meetings

Pros

Got to work with amazing team members within a team where the work actually "mattered". Managed to use cutting edge technology and freely apply it where needed. Always a great deal of respect between management and team members. Yearly raises, and they dealt with the pandemic very well, allowing for fully remote work. The 4 day workweek is fantastic and should be allowed everywhere else. Having three day weekends is a game-changer. PTO was very decent as well, allowing an overall of 4 weeks of PTO per year. 401K matching is very good.

Cons

Too big of a company to either make a worthwhile impact or to even make changes. There's a big struggle between older, more seasoned employees and younger ones. Even growing Slack adoption is a pain. They are super slow for promotions and retention is not their priority. Substantial raises are rare. They follow strict salary ranges. The Health insurance benefits are HORRIBLE for a company of this size and they should be ashamed. There's cost cutting going on and several people have been laid off. There's constant reorganizations that keep everyone out of place. The new CEO is just a mouth piece who doesn't really have any impact in the day to day, I still have no idea what he's doing but the Marilyn Hewson days were much better.
