Avantages
Flexibility of job assignments and opportunities to expand skill sets. Since Lockheed is involved in so many projects you rarely become stagnant in your job. they encourage employees to gain flexibility and experience in multiple areas both within their discipline and across disciplines. Senior management has taken a very proactive approach to leadership and strongly advocates leadership vs. management.
Inconvénients
Still very male dominated in the engineering workforce which is slowly changing but needs more hands on encouragement from senior management. Although senior management appears to be aware that leadership skills are important and how they treat their team is important this is not being effectively practiced by lower level managers.
