College Student Tech Intern at Lockheed Martin

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Grand Prairie, TX – Reviewed May 8, 2013 New

Interview Details – I applied online to a few student tech intern positions. I got an email fairly late (end of April) to set up a phone interview. They said it was a position that they created fairly late so the whole process went pretty quickly. The phone interview was the only interview. The interview consisted of standard behavioral questions and a few technical questions. The technical questions were not difficult and mostly about the various programming languages and software I am familiar with. Everyone from the recruiter to the manager I interviewed with were extremely nice.

Interview Question – Tell me about a time you went beyond what was required of you for a project in school?   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – I didn't negotiate because I considered the pay to be generous (21/hr).

College Student Technical Specialist (Summer Intern) at Lockheed Martin

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Orlando, FL Apr 2013 – Reviewed Apr 19, 2013

Interview Details – Applied to the job via lockheedmartincareers.com on a Thursday. I was called back by the manager the following Monday as a pre-screen, and then said they wanted to do a phone interview with me and that I would be contacted by HR to work out the details. The HR representative contacted me on that Friday with an application form for a pre-screen, and then called to schedule the phone interview the following Monday and scheduled an interview for Thursday. They said they only wanted to interview me by phone because they figured I was busy, being a college student and all.

Phone interview lasted an hour, but mainly because I asked a lot of questions. The interview was done as a conference call with the manager who originally contacted me and an associate of hers. They mentioned over the phone that there were 2 such positions with the same requirements. The interview was straight forward and was entirely behavioral questions with some simple "Are you familiar with XYZ programming language?" type questions, nothing technical whatsoever. They will not even consider you unless you're qualified, so you aren't asked those kinds of questions, especially as an intern.

 At the same time, I had applied to another company in the area, and they got me an interview 2 weeks later. 2 weeks after my interview, I interviewed with this other company, and was told I should be getting an offer from them soon. I immediately told the original manager at LM that I was being drafted an offer by this other company, and was given an offer within an hour by email, marked urgent. The only way to get an expedited response is if you have competing offers. Without even telling LM what my pay would have been at this other company, they beat it and offered to pay some of my rent, so I took the offer.

Multi Functional Financial Analyst at Lockheed Martin

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in May 2011 – Reviewed Apr 17, 2013

Interview Details – Went from an intern to a salaried employee. Started me at the same base salary as a low performer and a mid-level performer even though I graduated first in my class. HR is horrible.

My intern interview was a lot more difficult. It was a panel interview and there were more candidates.

Interview Question – N/A - already had the job. The most difficult question was whether I would accept based on the miniscule salary they offered.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation. I was told everyone started at the same base salary, which is ridiculous.
