Overall a good place to work.

Software engineer senior

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive pay + benefits 9/80 Work schedule (9 hours a day, every other Friday off) 401K contribution matching Vacation time rolls over (but capped) Tuition reimbursement, however I have issues (see cons below) Job security (no outsourcing) Great work/life balance. Employees are encouraged to take their vacation time.

Cons

Promotion / Advancement heavily biased towards seniority vs merit-based. Political infighting between groups. Company maintains dead weight employees and shuffles them around instead of laying them off. Bureaucracy and red tape create a slow-moving work environment. Tuition reimbursement only towards a degree program. Why no option to take 1 or 2 classes for professional enrichment?

I loved working at Lockheed Martin.

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people to work with. Great job security (as long as defense spending is up)

Cons

The nature of the defense industry is that you don't know who else is working on similar projects so the potential for technical collaboration across projects is greatly diminished.
