I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Houston, TX) in Sep 2013
Interview
I met a recruiter at a MAES conference in Houston, Texas and was offered an interview on the spot upon him reviewing my resume. At that point, I was put on a waiting list and then taken to the back for an interview. The interview questions consisted mainly of the recruiter asking me about projects and coursework that were on my resume. Apart from that, he asked what particular division I would like to work for if I were offered a job and why. Since I was asked for an interview on the spot, I wasn't prepared and hadn't researched Lockheed Martin prior to the interview so I'm pretty sure that's why I did not advance in the interview process. Some advice: Always research the companies you want to work for in advance just in case a surprise interview comes your way.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What division of Lockheed Martin appeals to you most and if a position was offered, what would you choose?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Baltimore, MD)
Interview
I applied for several system engineering positions on their career website. I was not contacted for ~ 30 - 45 days until asked to attend an interview. I was supposed to meet with a person that was on the program; however, he was 'busy' so I met with another person. The interview was very formal (e.g. what did you do at your previous job?)... there were no behavioral questions. The interviewer told me that she believed I would be good for 1 of the available positions and I should be contacted within a week. I contacted the recruiter, informing him that I had another offer that I needed to provide a decision on ASAP. The (LM) recruiter did not inform me that LM intended to provide me with an offer until 1 week after I needed to make a decision on the other offer (which I had accepted). I decided to rescind acceptance of the other offer to accept the LM offer. I waited 2 months for a start date (which is how long I was told that it could take) and then LM rescinded their offer to me. Also, I have not been contacted by any LM recruiters since (~ a month ago). I have been unemployed (laid off) this entire time. I am less optimistic about LM as a company that I would want to work for considering how I was treated.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin
Interview
Lockheed Martin provided me with an excellent opportunity of a Summer Internship for four summers. Upon my graduation with my MS EE they offered me a job that was significantly lower than other defense contractors at the time. I was very interested in working for them because I enjoyed the work, the people and the location, unfortunately when I asked them to consider other offers I had received from similar defense contractors they said there was nothing they could do. My next request was simply to tell me which job I would be doing (since as an intern I had done a number of different positions, some better than others). Again they stated they could not tell me specifics which job I would be assigned. Since another contractor offered almost 20% more, provided me with a detailed job description and was in a similar cost of living area I chose a different employer. Being raised to be faithful to my employer it was a very difficult decision, however as I look back upon it now, the company with whom I am presently employed has been more than generous and I love my job!
