Pros

Great place to gain experience if you're just starting off. There are lots of locations around the US and even around the world to move around in if you want. Get to work on interesting projects from time to time.

Cons

Lockheed wins some really cool contracts but then manages to handle the execution of them very poorly. There are frequently the "wrong people" making all the important decisions which result in budget problems, wrong equipment being purchased, focus on status reports over actually performing work.

Pros

Will let you go part time whenever you want.

Cons

Poor pay. Management makes HUGE decisions for employees on a whim. took away 4/10 schedule. Took away Hybrid. My program made workers come in for a 7 DAY WORK WEEK. While management consistently went on vacations and failed to help in any quantifiable way. Health plan ever more expensive. Moves slower than any other company I've ever worked for and

Pros

Access to good mentors. Paid weekly.

Cons

Most managers are subpar at best. They don’t understand leadership. Remnants of the prior “good ole boys” club. Outdated thinking. People hear what they want to hear. Feedback culture is the maturity of a 6th grader. Lots of personal and authority bias. People very much do not care about the work they do. Ethical behavior is non-existent half the time. People lack patience. No real desire to process improve. No real understanding of servant leadership among most managers and above, Highly, highly nepotistic. Actual progress and results not celebrated. Most people drink the kool-aid. Hiring decisions can be atrocious. Retainment of some people is a serious mistake. Lots of really bad attitudes. Senior leaders really have no clue what’s going on with their front line workers. Same is true with the L5s. Team leads can be conniving and create narratives and the L5s tend to be too dull to see that. Lots of people ‘playing games’ and most L5s and L6s don’t have the guts to stand up to that behavior. Lots of blame game. Lots of “not my job”. Lots of people settle for less. No real pioneering aspect in the culture.
