Lockheed Martin Employer Reviews

Management was outstanding. Lockheed would thow us parties quarterly.

Lockheed Martin treats their employees with respect and dignity.
A large corporation that cares about people. Always strives to keep all employees up-to-date with corporate events.

Good mix of routine tasks a new challenges each day. Enjoy working with external suppliers and depots as well as matrixed project support team members.

Nice place to start career. Better benefits than most but expect less pay.

Typical work day starts at 0700 and ends at 1600. I teach a three week and a two week C4ISR aviation ground school. I also manage the day to day operations of the contract here at Coast Guard Aviation Training Center, Mobile. My co-workers are active duty Coast Guard, government civilians, and other civilians on the contract. The most enjoyable part – more... of it is I get to fly on Coast Guard aircraft for proficiency and train young men and women. The hours can be long because when I am on the aircraft teaching class starts at 4am. The hardest part of the job is dealing with personnel conflicts and coming to an agreeable resolution. – less

Nice place to work. Co-workers are team oriented. Would like to be hired back if an opportunity come along

Great place to work. Got to be part of the Space Shuttle processing team.

Good mix of routine tasks a new challenges each day. Enjoy working with external suppliers and depots as well as matrixed project support team members.

Typical day at work:
Clock in, and head to my assigned "tool crib" to distribute certain tools and equipment to mechanics and builders. I learned that that there are many personalities that i have yet to understand but; We get along. I've also learned about different tools and equipment that i was previously unaware of. The management in "some" areas – more... on "some" shifts was very poor. I could get in touch with them sometimes or not at all if i needed them. My co-workers were the best. They were always there to help or give me ideas about how to solve a problem. The hardest part of this job was dealing with management. They can rarely be found (depending on the shift that i happen to cover). My most enjoyable part of the job was helping the customers (mechanics and their managers). – less

Maintaining security guidelines.
Assisting co-workers and customers to obtain required media.
Management assisted in maintaining correct DOD guidelines.
Working with co-workers to ensure proper media requested was accurate for required job.
Hardest part was understanding what media was the best requirement for customers request.
Most enjoyable was researching, – more... organizing items for customers, co-workers and the camaraderie developed. – less

A large corporation that cares about people. Always strives to keep all employees up-to-date with corporate events.

Retaining talent may be the most difficult thing LM has to do. Advancement and compensation is done with a military-esque approach where time invested outweighs performance. From my experience (I work in operations on a customer site) this is a perfect job for entry level employees and late career individuals. I find at times many are under worked and – more... overpaid. – less

This was a good place to work. I had good managers, got to travel and work on many different programs. I had good co-workers.

started out the first day on the floor working Liaison Planning for the NC mills in an old computer room.
moved t to the F-2 program working the composite wing detail and leading edge flap. learn how a cross functional team is to actually work. Co-workers were all great.
the hardest part of the job was straightening up approximately 5000 standard text – more... work instructions as we converted from an old IMS system to HMS CAPP/PDM system – less

Unfortunatly, due to facilities consolidation within the company, the Eagan plant has been closed down.

The team you land in makes a huge difference. There are tons of oppertunities available to explore areas.

Good company to work for with some life/work balancing benefits such as flex time and tellecommuting.

Good job with good benefits
Flexible work schedule
Great coworkers
Lots to learn here

Great company to work for, I really enjoyed my time there as an overseas contractor.

I worked directly under the director of Business Development of one of the branches at Lockheed. I supported her with day to day tasks as well as managing the 5 Billion pipeline of our branch. I learned how to forcast and work with multi-million dollar opportunities. I was a fly on the wall for a lot of my Director's work, so I learned a lot about business – more... development with a major corporation. My coworkers were great, and were all mentors for me. The hardest part of the job was adjusting to the corporate world because it was my first corporate job. Most enjoyable part of the job was working on some pretty interesting and exciting projects. – less

Love working with great co-workers and the unique environment, really allows you to feel in control of what you are doing.
