Lockheed Martin Employee Reviews for Senior Electrical Engineer

"LM is good and there are a lot of opportunities but there are problems.. Management is removing risk taking from the business. They are trying to replace competence with process. Company having trouble moving from the old government aerospace model to the commercial model. Management can't understand that a lot of the things that we do to satisfy our government customer are not appropriate for the commercial market. Unless we cut out a lot of inefficiency, we will not be able to compete."

The company motto is Never forget who we work for, so the correct answer is that you love being able to defend our proud nation and support the troops."

What don't you like about working at Lockheed Martin?

"Limited opportunity for growth. Need a sponsor (a friend in management) to get promoted. The work is very boring and mundane and way beneath the potential of anyone with an engineering degree. Recruiters lie during the interviews to make the job sound interesting, but in reality the job entails little more than modifying Word documents and attending meetings. Unfortunately, when it's time to leave, you'll find yourself woefully inadequate when compared to other engineers at commercial companies."

"Treat the employees with respect. Recognize and reward the employees that actually do work instead of the ones that simply talk about doing work and then take credit for other peoples accomplishments."

"Great place to work."
