Lockheed Martin Software Developer reviews

As of 2018: Benefits are horrible. Regardless of the amount you are offered you should probably look elsewhere due to health benefits. They gone to a high deductible plan, and the company that is managing it has no clue how to correctly facilitate health benefits so that if 100 employees ask the same question of their provider they are given the same "Correct" answer. The answer given seems to change depending on how much the provider is trying to save on costs. This was a big mistake on Lockheed's part, wait until they fix their benefits package before stepping onboard. Lockheed is stuck in the 80's, and it is painful. Entrenched older engineers refuse to come into the 21st century. The company is aware of the issue and is trying to fix it, but the old guys either won't retire or let the next generation of experts step up to the plate.

Parking is awful, if you get to work after 8:00 you’ll have to walk a mile to get to your work area. Pay is high for the area and according to Lockheed “adequate,” but you can make significantly more elsewhere. Facility is really depressing without any type of natural light or windows. Younger software engineers will have a tough time, most of the decisions made on teams come from 20+ years of experience employees with functional programming and poor software design. Lack of younger engineers makes it hard to enjoy being at work. Everything is tied to charging a contract, if there is an event for learning that would be beneficial to you as an employee, you will be forced to do it on your own time and not on company time. Work is not technical enough to keep most young engineers, as my work has become a simple “copy and paste” job without any need of computer science fundamentals.
