Whatever you do stay, away from missiles and fire control - Electronics Engineer Lockheed Martin Employee Review

Horrifyingly outdated hardware, software, and engineering practices (40+ years in some cases). Government contract work feels more like trying to find excuses to spend money rather than actually trying to create a better product. Most new hires are shoved onto mindless paperwork tasks (filling out forms, updating documentation, collecting signatures) since there is so little engineering to go around. Culture is stagnant (remnants of a baby boomer company) and most buildings are depressingly brutalist, many lacking even tinted/frosted windows. Pay is also not very competitive with other engineering employers.
