Lockheed Martin Employee Reviews

I learned that your coworkers are essential to a happy work experience. Typical day included 4 am starts with 8 hours of pilot interaction and guidance for them. Management provided a unique experience as this was a union based contract. This provided as well, a unique workplace culture with the interaction between the union and management. The hardest part of the job was the schedule being changed and being seniority based. The most enjoyable part of the job was the interaction with pilots throughout the east coast.

Fun but slow

System Integration and Test Engineer (Current Employee) - Cape Canaveral, FL - November 27, 2023

Slow work pace, resistant to modern tech at all stages. Essentially boring for an engineer that wants to innovate. Cool to work on spacecraft everyday.

Decent Job with good benefits

Systems Engineer (Current Employee) - Valley Forge, PA - November 26, 2023

lockheed has a nice benefits package and offers competitive pay. however, roles are vastly different. sometimes there are impossible deadlines, and management will sometimes protect their own selves before the employees.

Excellent Work Environment

Network Engineer (Former Employee) - North Carolina - November 26, 2023

I greatly enjoyed working for Lockheed Martin, and only left the company because of an opportunity that was presented to me by my current employer. Lockheed, at least at the time, provided excellent benefits, opportunities, and experiences.

Laid-back culture with interesting work

Research Engineer (Current Employee) - Arlington, VA - November 24, 2023

I work in one of the major R&D divisions at LM, and this job provides everything you traditionally want in a job, but not much more. The work is interesting, the office culture is very laid-back and supportive, and the pay is decent. The 4/10-flex schedule is also a godsend. If you're young and looking for adventure, or if you have some deep need to self-actualize and your true passion is not necessarily technical research, this may not be the best long-term choice (though the fantastic schedule also means you'll have time for personal development). However, if you're looking for a good, stable job with interesting work, or if you're deeply passionate about a specific research area, this will be a fantastic job for you.

I hated the job but I loved the pay and two of my teammates. If you're not an engineer or sales rep, you'll never see a finished product.

Learned a Lot

The intern projects are meant to be challenging, and mine definitely was. Have to give a presentation at the end of the summer and get evaluated by senior staff. Great pay and great connections.

Good

Software Engineer Intern (Current Employee) - Remote - November 20, 2023

Great benefits, good pay for remote intern work. I love my team. The early career folks aren't responsive and do very little to keep their interns internally.

Meh

Nuclear Machinist Mate (Former Employee) - Arizona - November 18, 2023

The overall experience at the company has been satisfactory, but there are areas for improvement. Communication within the team could be more transparent, and there's a need for better-defined roles and responsibilities. Additionally, the work-life balance has been somewhat challenging due to occasional tight deadlines. While there are positive aspects, addressing these concerns could enhance the overall work environment

Great Company to work for and great benefits

IT Technician (Former Employee) - Savannah, GA - November 15, 2023

I worked for Lockheed Martin for a couple of years and they really look out for their employees. When my contract was up, they tried to find me a different job in another location, but I was unable to move at the time. Would HIGHLY recommend them.

Aeronautical Engineer (Current Employee) - Stratford, CT - November 14, 2023

Coworkers were nice, life was boring

Software Engineering Intern (Former Employee) - King of Prussia, PA - November 13, 2023

This was not the company for me, but it might be for you. Work can be interesting depending on the program you're on. You log every minute of your time for contracts, which feels odd. Benefits are ok, and it is possible to find programs that are remote or hybrid if you want. It just feels very slow and tech stack is very outdated.
