Pros

+Everyone here is very friendly and very nice. No toxic culture at all +Everyone will always say they are underpaid - for most positions in the lower cost of living areas, LM definitely pays well. +401k is INSANE. Unfortunately, if you join now, it is not as good anymore, but still way better than most companies. +You will rarely work more than 40 hours a week, and if you ever do, you can just leave early the week after

Cons

-Everyone here will tell you that it's very difficult to move up. You either need to apply to a different job posting that's a level higher or you need to leave the company and come back. This is all advice given to me by multiple people here. -You don't really face the ethical question much in your day to day here if at all. But it's obviously still something you need to think about. Given the current state of the world, it definitely has made me think a lot more. And the few times such a topic has come up in discussion, most people are dismissive of it or even mocking of it, which personally, has been annoying. Can't blame them though, it is natural in the industry. You just need to find how comfortable you are and how close to the ethical question you are willing to be in your position and work.

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.
