Lockheed Martin Senior Software Engineer reviews

The company is huge, and most portions of it, at least for engineers, tend to hold on to you for a while. It's not like the govt. contracting sector is going away. Also, they tend to be good about paying for external education, even if getting it internally is hard (due to budget constraints, not lack of availability).

The company is big and located all over the US and around the world. This gives an employee the opportunity to choose a different position within the company but at another location. It definitely gives the employee a great potential career growth and tons of opportunities. Another reason are the employees of the company. Many of the people I've met and worked with are intelligent, hard workers, and great people to know. It allows you to build a network if you ever need to contact these individuals in the future. For most of the project's I've worked on, the hours are flexible. The mentality is if you need to work 50 hours to get your work completed, then you work your 50 hours. However if you can get it done in 40 hours, then work just 40 hours. It doesn't have to be 8-5 every day. If you have an appointment in the morning, then you can potentially work 5 hours the first day and make up the other 3 hours on the other days of the week.
