Staff systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely large organization - lots of technology, smart people, good projects. Proud to work at Lockheed Martin. Generally, technical people are well managed; not micro-managed. Top-notch vendor relationships - constant stream of product orientations, presentations, etc. Training!

Cons

Hard to get noticed. Maybe a cliche - a lot easier to get noticed for messing up, than doing something extremely well. Not a lot of visible, young rising stars. Management is mostly 15/20-years + with company crowd. A lot of military veterans. Not overt, but definitely a clique-like feel. Perception is that it is hard to fire a Lockheed Martin employee. Personal work spaces are dull - many without natural light (Marietta, GA plant)

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility, advancement opportunities and wide variety of assignment possibilities.

Cons

Program management lack customer and corporate vision and at times appears clueless or uninterested in customer needs or wants, much less the needs and wants of Lockheed Martin employees. This does not, however, include immediate managers who seem to have a better understanding of both customers and direct reports.
