Lockheed Martin Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"A great learning and work experience."

"I have worked for Lockheed Martin since 2007 and my overall satisfaction with the company has dwindled over the past 6 years. The first 4-5 years were awesome. I enjoyed coming to work more than any other job I have had. The last couple years have been a struggle to want to come in some days. I love the flexibility and technology I work with, but the overall culture leaves something to be desired. A decent number of employees of my generation have been leaving lately if that is any indication."

"I have worked for Lockheed since 2001, with a short break to attend graduate school full time. Overall, I believe the company to be strong and a good place to work. However, over the last several years I've witnessed the morale of employees and the general satisfaction of employees decline. It is very difficult to grow in our career. This is partially a result of sequestration and other government cuts, but also a lack of technical development and stress on being a good technology company. It sounds strange, but it feels like the company puts less and less on good technical development and more and more on scheduling and measuring. Other sites/business areas may not be experiencing the same thing."

"Great place to work. Encouraging co-workers."

"I worked for Lockheed Martin for 17 years. I was recently laid off due to a company wide Reduction in Force. I found the work exciting, but the excessive management on the crisis jobs I was assigned to as one of their go to guys made the jobs difficult."

"Headquartered in Bethesda, MD, Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs about 116,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services."

"Lockheed Martin is a forward technology oriented company. It is a good place to work provided that projects are funded."

"I've worked at Lockheed Martin for 6 years. Overall, they are a very good employer. The only downsides are that they are slow to embrace new technologies and I do not like the way they relocate personnel."

"This was the best organization I have ever worked for in a long time. I found them greatly devoted to their employees. Making going to work a everyday enjoyable experience."

"Lockheed is reorganizing to be cost competitive on rates. That means a constant purge of talent, constant turnover and excessive process control. They are 1.3 billion over budget on JSF and 5 years behind schedule. That puts everyone in a panic mode. Turnover makes continuity and long term planning impossible."

"I've worked for Lockheed Martin for almost 13 years as Oracle DBA and Data architect. I enjoyed challenging assignments and accomplishments of my teams. I helped my company to timely deliver quality software products. I respected and adhered company policies and values."

"I worked at Lockheed Martin full-time for more than 10 years.Pros I really enjoyed working with my co-workers. I would be happy to work with them again. I see that LM is moving towards a more diverse customer base, this should keep it going well into the future.Cons As with all large companies the bureaucracy is a pain. The size of the company can make it difficult to see how you contribute to the bottom line."

"We are currently going through another set of layoffs. Lockheed Martin doesn't seem to be the safest place to be in the west coast. Used to seem to have great opportunities, but not sure anymore."
