Pros

- Great dynamic work - Good pay (even in smaller contracts) - Great benefits - A lot of room for opportunities on current assignments - Tuition Assistance is some of the best I've seen

Cons

It's SUPER tough to get another opportunity in the company. In fact, I've been trying to get a new opportunity at Lockheed for the last 2 years. I've applied to over 20 positions that I'm more than qualified for (some over qualified for) and can't get anything. They always go to outside candidates or internal candidates who are working in the department currently (confirmed by hiring managers). Hard to get promotions.

Pros

There was a good work/life balance for me in my position. I had to opportunity to engage with some very interesting and smart people in my time there and I was able to travel some. I was able to work from home a lot and work around my busy life schedule when needed. Lots of flexibility in the position to have a life and do well at work. The benefits are good even if they are not as good as they were when I first started. They are still good compared to other companies. I had a lot of interesting and challenging work in my days to keep me satisfied for many years.

Cons

There was a lot of myopic mindset above me. My direct team was great, but the further north in the org chart I looked, the more short sighted and bottom line focused the management became. There was no top line mindset of growing from what I saw in their words and actions. It was always cut, cut cut and that got old after a while on the mindset of employees and created a downtrodden workforce around me. It was depressing many days in the office. I had 1 training class in the last 2 years so that was hard to stay motivated after having a lot of training opportunities up to that point early in my career. What it was when I started was great, and what I left was average at best as an organization.
