Working at Lockheed Martin in Littleton, CO: 24 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Littleton, CO Area

"Lockheed is a great company to work for. Having said this, the company is burdened by tradition. Some programs have an inability to adjust to market demand. It is for this reason that Lockheed has had trouble competing in the commercial satellite sector."

"Great pay, management varies, but has a business mindset for production."

"The experience as a system engineering intern at Lockheed Martin Space was overall positive. While the experience allowed me to work on large scale projects from many different angles, there was not much personal responsibility and I was not kept very busy despite seeking things to do."

"I would find that my current job is one that is needed to understand technology. I love going to my job every morning, I love the hours of working 9/80's which gives me one Friday off every paycheck. The only thing is that the pay isn't very competitive."

"Very rigid structure, compensation and promotion based more on tenure and connections rather than performance."

"Lockheed Martin is a well established company with many opportunities in terms of fields of work. The work atmosphere is overall positive but on the slower side in terms of progress. The hours are flexible and most managers are understanding if you need to take some time off for personal reasons."

"The jobs is interesting but communication process not always efficient"

"I have no complaints. Definitely the career I wanted to be in."

"I worked for Lockheed Martin staring in 1985 when it was just Martin Marietta and ended this past July with 21 years of service. I have had many super interesting assignments including Phoenix Mars Lander, Juno, GRAIL, and GeoEye spacecraft. I have worked for other companies and LMCO, though not perfect, is one of the best places I ever worked. It has good people, good teams, good projects, and is a decent place to work."
