Great so far. Great company to work for.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great life/work balance. Not strict on what time people show up, as long as they are there for the "core hours". These are from 9am-3pm. Get to see aircraft take off, land, and I support the control room for missions.

Cons

Promotions come every so often. They say budget is an issue. Edwards AFB is pretty far from a lot of people. I wish they would help out with gas.

Pros

I enjoyed the people I worked with. I was given opportunities to learn new skills.

Cons

Jobs are at the mercy of the customer and world events. The work is either feast or famine, layoffs are not uncommon due to the contracting cycle.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, good employees can expect to work there as long as they want.

Cons

Lockheed usually deals with large projects that move very slowly, good old boys environment. In rare instances the environment may not be friendly to minorities. The secure environment and the badge in, badge out gates feels confining. Military culture where upward mobility is more based on years of experience.
