Pros

Relatively immune from recession; good tuition reimbursement program for grad school, location, fairly decent health care; low stress, no working nights/weekends/Friday afternoon (usually); lax dress code (if you're in engineering, at least)

Cons

Because of how Lockheed Martin grew (acquisition), working at some of the business units just doesn't feel like working at a Fortune 500 company. It feels like you work at...whatever was there before it was acquired. Additionally, chances are that you will be completely isolated from every other business unit and site. Transferring from one business unit to another, or one site to another, is NOT as easy as it sounds -- one pretty much has to threaten to leave the company to do so. The worst feeling is the feeling that technology is just passing you by - we use software until it goes end of life. It's just not a "cool" place to work, but you already knew that. Incompetent employees are shifted around or even promoted. Lots of talk about horizontal integration, but virtually no action.

Pros

Good steady pay check. If you network correctly you can find some very technically interesting cutting edge programs. the benefits are good. you get to work a 9/80 schedule (every other friday off). you get three weeks of vacation, flex time and you can work on your off days to build up to two weeks of additional vacation time. They're also ok with you working from home from time to time. Very accommodating as employers go.

Cons

Red tape and excessive process. If you don't network properly you can can easily get pigeon holed in a boring uncreative job. You can spend way too much time doing mind numbing documentation because your following some arcane directive that wasn't originally crafted with your project in mind but which got blindly applied to all programs across the company
