What is overtime like at Lockheed Martin?

Work life balance is pretty good due to overtime not being demanded most of the time.

Tools can be outdated. Restraints or extensive timeline to improve processes due to DOD requirements. Company cares more about time in the field than individuals contribution to the team and company making merit promotions rare.

Good compensation and benefits. Work life balance has been good with opportunities for overtime.

Most customers are in a rush for work completion, even if not feasible. Sometimes there's a lack of planning/communication among groups

Decent pay and benefits Remote work is an option if your work is unclassified LOTS of flexibility. As a well-established employee, I can generally work whenever/wherever I want as long as I reach 40 hrs/week Work/life balance is valued, working overtime is rare Lateral moves are encouraged and easy. If you want to try a different role, different program, or different branch of the company, you usually can Management is forgiving and generally accomodating of those with disabilities or special needs, but ymmv

Sometimes management is too forgiving, people who cause problems for others aren't always dealt with Upward mobility can be difficult, it's important to advocate for yourself and make friends in high places Red tape can get in the way

Good people to work with, incredibly interesting technologies, amazing production facility. Once you're hired, moving around internally is very easy and strongly supported. Great benefits but pay was slightly lower than average given years of experience. Work life balance was excellent with paid overtime for salary workers.

Very dated offices, miles and miles of red tape. Very hard to learn the different teams and business structure as someone coming from outside Defense.

There are many opportunities for learning new skills and working stretch assignments. The worklife balance is great as there are government contracts that restrict overtime.

Slow growth if you want to stay in the same area

Great company to start with. Bolsters resume with clearances and can be matched with team for your skillset or branch to learn other skills

no overtime pay, hours just accumulate for the following week

Good Work-Life balance (project dependent) Stable work (if you're on a long-running project, IRADs may differ) Nice coworkers (location dependent) Great 401K match

Technically behind (i.e. always 5-6 years behind industry standard practices, tools, equipment) Comp time policy actively deters working over 40 hours, even when forced to by management PTO program not noteworthy "Top Performer" bump largely dependent on who you know and who knows you, rather than your actual work output Lackluster bonus (4%, which is totally dependent on sector financial goals rather than individual performance)

Good 401k matching, stock options, and opportunity to grow

Working overtime, company lacks in celebrating team achievements/appreciation

-Functional manager helped as much as was possible. -Immediate team was able to lean on each other.

-Massive scope creep due to program management having no spine and accepting every ask while pressuring for constant overtime. -Constantly changing program expectations/requirements. -Toxic culture bragging about 60 hour weeks while error rates shot through the roof. -Ridiculous amounts of meetings with 20+ people and nothing getting solved/resolved. -No respect for work/life balance.

Three day weekends, no pressure to work overtime.

Workload on some projects due to staffing
