Pros

Very large company offers numerous projects to apply to work on. Health benefits, this year, better than small companies I have worked with in the past. Next year, Lockheed's OneHealth plan will drastically change that if it becomes the only option. Corporate management is very serious about diversity and respecting others.

Cons

Very hard to be promoted if not following a management track. Lip-service ONLY for technical skills and non-management progression. Like so many other places, technical training and certification receives so little funding as to be meaningless (here is $2,000, go train 10 people). Lower and middle management thinks everyone wants to be a manager like them: more political manager than leader.

Pros

Amazing technology is at your fingertips! I started as a new college grad and entered the Engineering Leadership Development Program, which allows me to rotate to multiple positions around the company. There are lots of great challenges and opportunities for the motivated. Higher education is encouraged and management will need replacement in the next few years, so there are multiple opportunities in the corporation for rapid advancement. Yes, it is a big, slow defense company, but the work life balance is good and your have lots of opportunities to learn new things.

Cons

None really, you can't access gmail or have a cell phone in some of the buildings. depends on your manager really.
