Corporate vs local culture are two different worlds at Lockheed

Systems engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is tremendous for the area.

Cons

Ruled by corporate directives, but local management is good ole boy slow to adapt smartly. Although lots of opportunities to skill up, very few effective selections. Good company policy of Diversity and Inclusion, but that doesn't translate very well among the legacy old white former air force pilots in their ranks,

Business Outlook

Pros

I've been here for roughly 3 years now and I've definitely enjoyed my time. Yeah its a slow start, but after the first year things definitely do pick up.

Cons

Slow uptake, but overall the cons I have are not about the company, but the area.
