Pluspunten

Cool projects, but as a early career, you will prob get put on boring projects and not interact with anything remotely interesting. Good career stability, you can be a terrible engineer and not have any repercussions. Fantastic flex time and work-life balance. Very few meetings. Some of the projects have tech stacks that will be very valuable on your resume. This job is a great stepping stone and a place to build up some excellent technical skills.

Minpunten

Awful management. Managers don't care about anything but the project, don't know how to manage effectively, and don't communicate well. Unrealistic expectations and subtle threats to your career advancement. No reasonable logic or flexibility for employee circumstances. HR policies are purposely vague to benefit management. There is zero mentorship even though there is mentorship structure. Very little upward mobility. Pay to start out is decent, but your wage does not scale at all with your experience. In a few years you'll find you are massively underpaid compared to industry standards. The company and employees all echo that it is so easy to move around within, but that is a complete lie. Some of the culture is painfully old-school. It varies by team. This is a typical giant corporation that takes advantage of new engineers for cheap labor and refuses to promote. There is not much diversity, and instances of harassment are swept under the rug. The physical work environment is outdated. The secure facility stinks of mold, simultaneously dim and lit flourescently, has mouse traps in hallways. Cubicle farms have crap chairs and you can hear multiple conversations at all times. IT has given me laptops with bulging batteries and non-functional ports, 20-year old keyboards covered in dust and grime, flickering monitors, broken phones.

Pluspunten

Hoge mate van integriteit door het hele bedrijf, open communicatie en oprechte interesse om het juiste te doen.

Minpunten

Helaas moet ik met twintig tegenslagen komen. Terwijl ik in werkelijkheid na 41+ jaar in IT, geen nadelen heb voor Lockheed Martin. Ze zijn niet perfect, maar zeer acceptabel.
