Working at Lockheed Martin in Sunnyvale, CA: 64 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Sunnyvale, CA Area

"Great place to start a career and develop crucial skills."

"I found that the culture and engieering tools used at Lockheed Martin are out-of-date. I found that while the engineering experience and networking potential were beneficial, I found that the culture of the company was frustrating, and the working environment was very poor. However, the management that I worked with was great, and the team dynamic was very positive."

"Great company to work for, no complaints"

"I loved working for Lockheed Martin"

"Great projects, but long hours in certain fields can burn you out."

"I have worked for LMSSC since 1996, but have almost gotten laid off several times due to programs ending or being downsized. I was even put on WARN even though I had more experience and proper skills than a younger, female engineer at the same rate, who later needed me to show her how to use the thermal analysis tools that the director said that they didn't need. I am currently working in Facilities, but they are downsizing and seem to be moving everything that they can to Denver. Because I was previously at a higher position, I can't get pay raises and so far, they haven't promoted me back to Staff level or higher, while I have my professional Engineer license and am doing more than the previous engineer. The work is fun enough and varied, but a lot of paperwork, especially after they moved to a new maintenance management system."

"This is a well known and respected company. Working for them was and will be a positive experience."

"I have worked at this company for 18 years, it has been transformed from a non-ethical company to a high class ethical company. The annual performance system is a joke, it is based on committed mistakes, not on quality of work, i.e., if one does not do significant work, he will not commit any mistake, on the other hand the one who has performed architecture, detailed design, guided others and finished multiple tasked with some mistakes which he already undo will be in loss in the field of promotion."

"I've worked for Lockheed Martin for 18 years. It has been transformed from a non-ethical company to a fantastic ethical company. But promotions are still based on personal relationship not on technical expertness or work. For example, if a person does not do much much than he will not commit any mistake, on the other hand a person who does take care most of the work he will do mistakes and he will be punished for those mistakes where the other one will get promo for mistake-less performance."

"I have been at Lockheed Martin over 20 yrs. and had a great experience moving through several super jobs with freedom to grow the business and become a subject matter expert in several cutting edge technologies. I became good friends with the customers in my positions. My senior VP managers were great to report to because they gave me the freedom to grow and become successful along with the business sectors I managed."

"Literally called cheap labor by senior management."

"I have worked at Lockheed Martin Corp. since 1995. The company has improved its ethical values immensely over these years. The company focus on its customer overly. I must say it must pay attention to commercial sector which it did in the past. It employs tens of thousands of engineers in California and all over the word."

"I have worked at Lockheed Martin for 30 years and have been involved with all areas of test including electronics design for deliverable hardware."

"I worked for Lockheed Martin for almost 27 years. I was given the opportunity to work in numerous positionns including software (I&T), Configuration Management, Hardware Test & Installation, and also worked overseas for four years of that time. I also have a current DoD TS clearance."
