Great Career Starter, Lower Than Average Pay

Business Outlook

Pros

Gained great experience working with a talented group of analysts. The business was very diverse as well, so it was a good experience to learn from.

Cons

The pay was below average especially in the Sunnyvale, CA area. I was required to work late and on some weekends throughout the year to meet management deliverables, which were at times, very redundant.

Business Outlook

Pros

Insurance, Vacation, limited Flex Time (based on title), 401k match, on-site medical facilities, online PeopleSoft learning programs, limited tuition reimbursement, relocation, international satelite offices

Cons

20% performing actual job functions while 80% waiting to retire and collect their retirement which is not offered to new hires. Depressing hearing old timers talk all day about their $$$$$ retirement with countdown clocks. Discouraging environment with talk amongst selves, groups, departments complaining about how no one does their job or it's done incorrectly. Seems everything is a corrective action. View first hand how tax payers dollars are at waste.

Pros

Decent benefits but not the best. Some business units in LM are good to work for as far as culture.

Cons

Some divisions are unstable, leadership does not care about people, poor culture and morale, favoritism is very prevalent, no work life balance for salaried positions and limited growth opportunities. Not the same Lockheed Martin Aeronautics as in the past...
