Pros

Excellent access to proprietary tools to conduct thorough issue resolution or escalation and documentation. Good desktop hardware/software, reliable 'up-time' of access to network resources to do your work. Friendly work environment. They hire generally above the norm competent and friendly people. Great team of people where knowledge is freely exchanged and help is available for difficult problems in critical situations.

Cons

Tendency to put 'yes-men' in supervisory positions to toe the corporate bottom-line. FOX news is on both monitors in the dining room. 24/7 If you are a progressive thinking person, keep it to yourself.

Pros

1. Depending on the program you're working on, there are some truly amazing things you'll be a part of developing. 2. Decent work/life balance. 3. Great people to work with.

Cons

1. Below average salary. 2. Promotions are almost non-existent. Without a dedicated manager pushing for your advancement, you will remain the same job level and pay grade for years. 3. Because of the tight security policies in place, expect to be working with very outdated software libraries, tools, etc. 4. Senior management clueless about the core technologies. 5. Over promise (knowingly) - under deliver: very typical.

Pros

Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company is a great place to start a career because it gives you instant experience with a large multi-national corporation and it is very recognizable as a brand and as a respected employer.

Cons

It is very much an old boy network. It seems like there are very few growth opportunities unless you've been employed there more than 20 years. Government contracts can be run similar to the way the government runs (slow, clunky, bureaucratic, stuck-in-their-old-ways)
