Lockheed Martin Senior System Engineer reviews

Low salary High health benefits cost

The Culture in Fort Worth in absolutely terrible for employees that are not coming from a military background. Many managers are former military that never worked for anyone else but government and DOD, so all the government inefficiencies and mindsets came with them. Coming from a non-defense private company, Lockheed was like walking back 30 years. The Facilities were old, 70s built, and for being a for being a high tech company I found myself working on Windows XP systems and impossible to get any software upgrades through the endless bureaucracy that exist there. Rooms where sales and finance work look nice but if you are an engineer you likely end up working in rooms not fit for your local jail. Work is extremely slow coming. Get used to the idea of hearing of a project, not being able to start working on it for 4 months, having several delays and then a rush to accomplish it with less that great quality and little support.
