I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin in Nov 2024
Interview
The interview I had could be broken up into three parts - behavioral, technical questions, and technical practice. The behavioral part was standard. Technical questions were about OOP, Java, Python, and they would've asked questions about C but I did not know any. Then, they gave technical problems that I would explain how to solve with a mix of pseudocode/Java. These questions were not difficult, just required a clear understanding of the problem and basic programming experience.
Resume screening is a large obstacle, they heavily consider whether you go to events/workshops/webinars and your resume needs to be very polished. One interview after this, which lasts around an hour.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Orlando) in Jan 2025
Interview
Behavioral - overall really easy if you can get an interview. No technical questions what so ever. I recommend just using the Star method and knowing ur resume. Knowing about the company never hurts, they look for people wanting to work in defense
