Pros

Decent benefits and decent schedule if you like a 4/10 shift

Cons

Constantly a battle between salary and hourly, never have I ever felt like a number until working for this company. I was sexually harassed twice, the first time they forced me to continue working with this salary employee. The second time I knew nothing would be done again so I put in my immediate resignation.

Not the job for ambitious people

Pros

Easy job don’t have to put in a ton of effort to be considered an average employee and engineers get a decent pay especially if you choose to work in a more rural area. Depending on location and department there might be actual exciting work to do. Most people speak highly of SPACE. If you work classified you literally can’t take your work home which allows for pretty good work/life balance (at least if you have a manager that doesn’t force you to stay long hours)

Cons

Most everything. Especially blatant sexism and racism. The work is incredibly slow and doesn’t require much thought they give you months to complete work that should take any decent engineer a week max to do. Don’t expect to work on anything innovative most everything is years behind any non defense tech company.

Pros

1) There are Lockheed Martin locations through out US and Internationally. If willing to move from Bay Area, there are a lot of growth/job opportunities. 2)Match 401K 3) Various programs at the Sunnyvale facility. Although, over time programs have ended, which decreased programs at this facility. Each program had different management styles. Which is a pro and con 4) Received a base salary adjustment every year, based on performance 5) Depending on your manager, there is life/work balance. This is a pro and con.

Cons

1) Sunnyvale location is downsizing. Due to less overhead expense, most new effort is being proposed to be completed on the East Coast or Denver. Many of the existing programs have transitioned out of California. 2) As programs are ending, there are less opportunities at the Sunnyvale location. 3) Very political. Company allows Senior management to degrade employees with no repercussion. Some programs do not enforce inclusion. 4) Health benefits have become more and more unfavorable over the years. I knew employees that had left the company because the medication required for their illness was no longer covered. Based on reduction of benefit coverage, I payed more and more out of pocket every year. 5)I had experienced great managers and unfortunately awful ones. Unfortunately, nothing is done to fix the awful ones since there is a lot of politics at the company. 6)If you are willing to relocate out of California because the location is downsizing, the Sunnyvale location is for you.
