Pros

Got to work with amazing team members within a team where the work actually "mattered". Managed to use cutting edge technology and freely apply it where needed. Always a great deal of respect between management and team members. Yearly raises, and they dealt with the pandemic very well, allowing for fully remote work. The 4 day workweek is fantastic and should be allowed everywhere else. Having three day weekends is a game-changer. PTO was very decent as well, allowing an overall of 4 weeks of PTO per year. 401K matching is very good.

Cons

Too big of a company to either make a worthwhile impact or to even make changes. There's a big struggle between older, more seasoned employees and younger ones. Even growing Slack adoption is a pain. They are super slow for promotions and retention is not their priority. Substantial raises are rare. They follow strict salary ranges. The Health insurance benefits are HORRIBLE for a company of this size and they should be ashamed. There's cost cutting going on and several people have been laid off. There's constant reorganizations that keep everyone out of place. The new CEO is just a mouth piece who doesn't really have any impact in the day to day, I still have no idea what he's doing but the Marilyn Hewson days were much better.

Work is great, 4x10 schedule is perfect...

Cons

It's far. I live over 60 miles and everyday in person is hell drive.

Pros

High level of integrity throughout the company, open communications, and sincere interest in doing the right thing.

Cons

Unfortunately, I need to come up with twenty words of cons. When in reality after 41+ years in IT, I have no cons for Lockheed Martin. They are not perfect, but highly acceptable.
