Pros
The four day work week is a nice feature of working with Lockheed Martin, which is coupled with a generous amount of PTO with options to earn and bank compensatory time in lieu of overtime. The 401k savings program has a really impressive company match and most employees are very surprised with how quickly your wealth builds. There are also numerous programs a projects which operate at the edge of technology, which is exciting.
Kontras
The leadership at Lockheed Martin, particularly at ADP/Skunk Works, can be terrible. There is a significant lack of communication between the hourly and low-salary grade employees and the senior leadership. There doesn't seem to be a shared vision and leadership makes questionable decisions about who they put into positions of authority. The Lockheed organization opted to early-retire most of the senior workforce several years ago, but failed to apprentice their replacements before the left. This left a technical and functional gap which was not adequately filled and now manifests in design issues, build missteps and organizational ignorance. All of this would be solved if there were a performance based employee evaluation system where competent employees who excel are matriculated up the organizational hierarchy. This isn't the case and the employee evaluation system is a joke to most employees. The lack of positive and negative feedback loops between the leadership and the workforce, and the inability for leadership to solve problems, has left the Lockheed Martin ADP organization a shell of its former self.
