Pros

Decent company to work for If you have 8+ months to actually wait for your background check to get back to work and still wait 5 months after that to possible start work again.

Cons

-Decent Company, Terrible On Boarding Process. - The background check process is extremely slow, especially when handled through First Advantage. - Communication during onboarding can feel inconsistent or unclear. - Long waiting periods between offer, background check, and actual start date create unnecessary stress. - The hiring pipeline feels outdated and needs better oversight.

Pros

Worked in the defense sector for 30 years for 3 different companies. One of those companies did subcontracting. As a subcontractor I worked three other companies for periods ranging from 3 months to 4 years. Some of the people I worked with at Lockheed were definitely among the smartest and most capable.

Cons

A few of the people I had to deal with at Lockheed were the least capable I encountered in my entire career.
