Pros
Job security is assured since most of the work is classified and cannot be outsourced. The medical plan is good but relatively expensive for such a large company.
Cons
You will work very long hours a lot of the time since project scheduling and estimation is atrocious at Lockheed. Merit raises are not tied to company performance, do not reflect employee's contributions to the company, and ignore if employee has critical skills the company is looking for. Reviews are very slanted to where you are in your salary band rather than what your compentencies are or the quality of your work. And managers are forced to "push" the majority of employees into the "average" rating to keep salaries down.
