Great place to start a career

Materials engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Specifically for the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics site at Palmdale, CA, the Skunk Works, this review is to say that this is a place where you can achieve a high level of autonomy and recognition for your work, especially as an early career engineer. There is a high percentage of employees who are hard core airplane people and love their work and that makes the Skunk Works a pleasant place to be even during hard times. Lots of opportunity for a good work/life balance, as well.

Cons

There is not much work to be had at this site right now which means that resources are low and makes other work more difficult to get done. Otherwise, no cons.

Great Company

Materials engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of opportunities if you're in the right group. Tons of training opportunities. Good benefits. Good discounts (cell, cars, misc purchases). Good starting vacation for new hires. Fully vested 401k (or at least was when I was there). Usually saw a yearly pay increase.

Cons

no longer offers a pension for non-union employes (I was near the end of them offering that). Not all departments are great, but if you have talent, you can move out of a bad situation pretty easily. Bonuses are rare.
