U.S. Department of Defense Employee Reviews for Systems Engineer

"Lockheed Martin is a great company I have worked there for 3 years and can say I love the experience and the opportunity to work under the information systems and global services defense department. My position was un-supervised so I was able to show my leadership skills as well as me being a self starter. I was presented with an award for hard work and leadership. I treated all staff with respect. Working in such a great environment really helps when the system is down, teamwork pays off."

"Immediate supervisor and coworkers are helpful and responsive, not so much everyone else. Training opportunities abound, but must be related to the job you are doing, not the one you want."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Get as much information about the job as you can. This can be hard due to the nature of the work, but the two year commitment will drag by if the position is not a good match."

"Great experience, but lack of training on new technologies."

What do you like about working at U.S. Department of Defense?

"The interaction and support that I can provide to tens of thousands of users and troops defending our country."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Let them know who you are and why YOU are the best for the job."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"For my current management, focus on training those who get the work done on a regular basis and listen to suggestions and to not promise the impossible."
