Easy interview

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Montgomery, AL) in Sep 2009

Interview

Lockheed Martin employees will admit the process is cumbersome. The job title changed twice during the process.The timeframe from when I completed the online application to the 1:1 interview was less than 1 week. However, from that point to the receipt of the offer took over 3 weeks. Be prepared for multiple phone screenings and a background check.

Application

I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Arlington, VA) in Mar 2009

Interview

Very disorganized....Person interviewing did not even know what they were interviewing me for. Seemed more like moving a heard of cattle around. Lacked professional demeanor. Several other people were there to interview and most stated they didnt even have a position for them either. Seemed more like they were more interested in the number of interviewee's then jobs being filled. A BIG WASTE OF TIME
