Pros

Some parts of Lockheed treat their employees very well, very good Ethics department, overall benefits very good

Cons

Lockheed is a very fractured company and i am sure people reading about Lockheed are confused when they read reviews at web sites like this one. Lockheed divisions have different work weeks, pay bands in other works the Salary grades are standardized but the actual high and lows for the same cities can vary 15%. Work week varies, holiday schedule, amount of money you contribute to the health plan as well as the actual plan. Pay for performance merely means you will probably get more than the guy that performs less however they do force managers to put all their employees into groups poor good better best so someone has to be in the poor group pretty much no matter what. Managers are overworked some have 30+ employees to manage in addition to an actual job, plus now managers have to manage employees user accounts and new hires. The current process for reviews LMCommit is roundly hated by everyone but especially managers for them to do their job right for every employee would take weeks of unpaid work.

Pros

Excellent work/life balance benefits such as telecommuting A great place for middle aged employees that are just looking to cruise through the remainder of the careers and cash in on their pension

Cons

Extremely limited career advancement opportunities Pay scale is on the low end of the industry Limited opportunities for advancement and little reason for those without a pension to stay

Pros

This company offers flex time to their employees on most contracts ( when possible), and promotes balance between their employee's lives and the workplace . Don't get me wrong - employees are expected to step up and work VERY HARD when it comes to deadlines and deliverables. LM also promotes from within when possible. They also have an advanced leadership program for ambitious employees. This is a highly ethical company that embraces diversity.

Cons

All of Lockheed's work is contract based -so layoffs can be common and frequent. But they try to place employees in other jobs, if they are willing to travel or take a lesser positions. After being laid off once, I was re-hired. Current crunch with Fed real funding could impact company's future profit and opportunity.
