Not for Software Engineers - Software Engineer Staff Lockheed Martin Employee Review

Pros

It's a large, stable company so if you perform then you can work here for decades. There can be a lot of flexibility for working hours/schedule... but like many things at Lockheed, it really depends on your specific manager and project.

Cons

This is not the place to be for Software Engineers. Lockheed is a Systems Engineering organization with very little software engineering expertise. Software is considered a tool like Matlab... so leadership has no appreciation for good design. Most of the people writing software are educated in other disciplines (ex. Electrical, Mechanical, Aeronautical Engineering). That would be fine except for the fact that 1000's of lines of unmaintainable code are written every year.

Pros

High level of integrity throughout the company, open communications, and sincere interest in doing the right thing.

Cons

Unfortunately, I need to come up with twenty words of cons. When in reality after 41+ years in IT, I have no cons for Lockheed Martin. They are not perfect, but highly acceptable.
