I do university hiring for Lockheed and here is the deal. You will be phone screened. These are mindless questions usually from no higher than sophomore level. Complexity, logic gates, etc. Those don't really even matter. Lockheed wants the personality questions answered. Lockheed has no problem dumping $x0,000 into training you, and they will set you up with as many mentors as you need when you get there. They want a "good fit". Your recruiter is human, the better connection you make with them, the better. If they think "man, he would be awesome to work with" very little else matters.

Negotiation Details

I cannot stress this enough: Lockheed gives only one offer unless you have something else better on paper. If you want the most money you had better be applying multiple places. Lockheed will adjust your other offers based on cost of living, so applyig in California may not help. Also, Lockheed does have an upper limit that they cannot go over. There are hundreds of other applicants for every position.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Orlando, FL (took 4+ weeks)

I ran into a hiring manager in the hallway. He was lost and I helped him find where he wanted to go. I saw he had a Lockheed shirt on so I asked him about the place. That question turned into a 20 minute conversation and he gave me an interview.

The interview was pretty straightforward. No technical questions, all character questions. Got an offer for a position a couple of weeks later.

The interview process was pleasant. I opted out of the interview process early because of the job location and related commute time.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Orlando, FL (took a day)

The interview process was fairly well. There was different session explaining the leadership program, got the chance to network with different employees within the company, and learned more about Lockheed Martin. There were three different interviewers setup in different rooms, then i just rotated to the next one after one of them were done. The questions they were asking were behavioral type questions, just like any other interviews are.

They flew me to Orlando for the interview, without any prior screen. They housed me in the Hyatt Place and gave me a rental car. We had a fancy dinner, the night before. The interview was only a 1 hr behavioral interview. Thats it! I thought it went well, but they said no. I thinnk that 1 hr without any technical questions is not very thorough.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Orlando, FL (took 4 weeks)

Started with a 1:1 interview at my school after dropping my resume with the online Career Services. They then flew me to Orlando for an evening networking event followed by a 45 minute panel interview. I was told I was interviewing for a different job then I actually was. I don't know who's fault that was, but needless to say, I didn't get an offer

First you have to register on Lockheed’s website and upload your resume and cover letter. Then you can apply for whatever job you want that you feel you qualify for.

What happens next, if anything, is a recruiter will call you for an interview at the local recruiting center. At the interview you will most likely be given a presentation about Lockheed Martin before your interview which will talk the company’s products, benefits, and community relations. Then you will most likely go into a group interview consisting of 2 or more managers. The interview will probably not be very structured. They may ask you why Lockheed Martin and about things on your resume. The interview will last about 30 minutes. The interview is very laid back and the managers are very nice and receptive. After the interview you will be asked to give an exit interview where they will ask you question about your current job, why you want to get a new job, salary requirements, and other companies you maybe interviewing with. This part of the process will take about 15 minutes. The whole process will take about an hour or two.

After your interview day it will be on average a month before you hear anything from your recruiter about the position. Overall a good experience, but the unstructured nature of the interview makes it difficult to prepare for. My suggestion would be to have a good statement about yourself prepared and a good reason for choosing Lockheed. Also, be familiar with the job description that is listed because that will give you a hint as to the types of questions they may ask or you can ask them about.

Interviewed May 2008 in Orlando, FL (took a day)

this was a very behavioral interview focusing on skills and abilities, be prepared to answer how you lead a group and were successful, also a time when the outcome was unfavorable, person you would like to meet and why, skill sets, why you are qualified for the job and should be hired, where you expect to be in 10 years time, how you heard about the position, what specifically you find interesting about the position.

I spoke to two different people, each for a half an hour, one was from their human resources department, and the other was a manager. Both were very personable and easy to talk to, they kept the interview process flowing and were interesting and knowledgeable about the position. the interview did take the full hour as scheduled, and did not include any math or formulas or industry specific knowledge.
