      Look Somewhere Else

      Engineer

      CEO approval

      Pros

      You eventually quit or get fired.

      Cons

      Wanted to work here since I was about 5. Spend 3 years drudging through their poor managed company. One of the biggest let down if my life finding out that they do not live up to their image. Wonder why the CEO left? Don't. HR, with a combined-IQ-of-25, will screw up your career. They will fire you based only on allegations of someone not liking you. They don't lead anything in the space community. Also, as an engineer, you'll be copy and pasting for 15 years until you're upper management, and then do cool stuff for 5 years until you get to use your horrible retirement. Benefits might as well not even exist.

      Nice place to work after graduation

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule, easy-going people, and important work. Lockheed Martin is a monster-sized organization. Your experience in one organization can be vastly different compared to one across the hall. As such, you must think of Lockheed as multiple smaller companies rather than one large organization.

      Cons

      A lot of bureaucracy. Since its a defense company they, don't really prioritize skillsets instead of a breathing body. Meaning you'll have a few excellent developers and the rest are just in the way people so they can bill the government a ludicrous amount. This has been my experience with 3 different teams so far., you'll probably come to learn the same.

      Decent if you're ok with corporate culture

      Systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are decent. Hard to get fired (they will try to move you around unless you really mess up). Pay is fairly competitive. Huge corporation with many locations and resources. Plenty of really interesting projects being worked.

      Cons

      Can take a while to get spun-up on a new program. Being a huge corporation means some thing slip through the cracks and the focus isn't always on individual employees (sink or swim mentality - you have to reach out and grab your own opportunities a lot of the time). Promotions can be a little subjective (they rely mostly on who your manager is and how many years you've been with the company, not necessarily just performance).
