Vantaggi
Lockheed Martin had a great work environment overall. Great talent and co-workers all around. Made some long lasting friendships and learned a lot from those that I worked with. The company also had good work from home options for those that had the right connections. Some opportunities were being provided with rotations to other business areas within the company so that not all LM service desk employees were being "pigeon holed" into one particular career path.
Svantaggi
Working in the company support Helpdesk environment did not leave much room for advancement. Once you were part of the helpdesk, it was a battle to try and get work within the other departments. Many who did move to other areas of the company chose to end their employment with the LM Helpdesk and then apply from outside as it seemed to provide better results. There is also a huge amount of favoritism amongst many of the managers that worked in the Helpdesk environment. If you played nicely with them and spent time chatting it up in their office, you were more likely to be chosen for projects and career advancement opportunities.
