Improving but still a defense company

Staff data scientist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance (flexible, part time, remote options) Internal mobility Training opportunities (this has expanded a lot recently)

Cons

Processes are very slow and inefficient. Campuses are all cube farms. Not an attractive work environment at all compared to other companies in the bay area. Politics politics politics. Approvals for everything and take forever. Unwilling to use latest tools and technology, and trading good technologies off for sub-par/unproven ones. Management at the top is still stubborn defense minded, unwilling to change. Re-org for every new VP that comes in. Pay packages are improving but still not on par with other bay area tech companies. The end product and work itself is uninspiring. Lockheed makes products for war and lobbies Congress to bribe them to buy more "war" products. They also fund their unethical lobbying practices with employee paychecks.

Great company to work for

Senior intelligence analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

LM lets you be you. They embrace the motto, bring your whole self to work. There are always challenges with people. However, that's not a reflection on LM,but on the individual person. LM has a Native American group. Women in leadership roled ( not a ton but they are moving in the right direction), and they care about your mental heath and well being.

Cons

Some leaders need more training on how to deal with emotion.
