Lockheed Martin Staff Optical Engineer reviews

Wide variety of projects to work on ranging from space based platforms to UAV to ground-based. If you're technically creative there's research money available to get new ideas off the ground. There is no sense of intellectual protectionism, and full credit is given to employees whose ideas are successful. It's easy to move up in the organization if one is willing to take on additional responsibility.

The money. I negotiated a big boost in pay along with a nice signing bonus when I went BACK to the company. Challenging work, which can make things interesting, frustrating, or both.
