I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Chelmsford, MA) in Feb 2023
Interview
Interview with hiring manager followed by round robin style interview with related employees. Talked about work experience and why I wanted to work at Lockheed. I was never asked technical questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about projects you worked on at your current job.
The interview was pretty standard and mostly behavioral with a few technical questions towards the end. The interviewers were very respectful and helped answer my questions fully and to the best of their ability. I learned a lot about the company from the interview.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Grand Prairie, TX) in Jan 2024
Interview
Didn’t apply, recruiter reached out.
She told me the hiring managers would ask about operating systems I’ve worked on, and my experience with C++ and hardware loop.
I didn’t have much experience in any of this, but I was upfront and honest anytime I didn’t know something. I have a defense industry background, so during the interview I discussed my personal experiences, projects I’ve worked on, how I am a team player, etc. I was honest about the technical struggles I have faced, as well as my biggest weakness (emphasizing what I actively do to work on it). No Leetcode style questions.
Got an offer, but they wanted me to start ASAP. Their relocation package ($5,000) wouldn’t cover my moving expenses. They weren’t willing to negotiate. Ended up rejecting. No hard feelings, would love to work at Lockheed in the future!
