Pros

Work-life balance, easygoing and friendly coworkers.

Cons

Lockheed's immense size means that it relies on bureaucracy and process to control its direction. The weight of the corporate culture and inertia can seem stifling, and things move at the pace of molasses.

Pros

Flexible work schedule, vastness of the different types of projects you can work on, tuition reimbursement, good compensation and benefits, generally a good place to start for new hires just out of college

Cons

You're most likely to end up doing work that doesn't interest you or are pigeonholed into a specific role you don't want to be in. Lack of creative projects makes the work dull and boring. It is very hard to get your hands on the latest technology because of the bureaucracy involved, thus making your skills outdated.
