Lockheed Martin reviews

In some pockets of LM, engineering is a dying art. While some areas continue to nurture engineering skill transfer and learning curve, other areas are allowing those skills to atrophy, which will eventually cause the company issues. The work ethic among engineering is not always matched by other areas of the company (support staff, ILS, bizops)

While the LM name recognition can help when looking for work this is not a great place for young people to start a career. The company is over managed and seems more interested in chasing the latest ISO / Jack Welch certification than looking at its own history or asking its own employees about what works. There is too much hierarchy and over specialization, that said it's a big company and you can transfer internally to gain a variety of experience. Heading up the management ladder internally though probably won't work, one of my best qualified friend who worked there at the same time as mean and was doing his best was basically told to stop working so hard b/c he was making people look bad.
