Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin
Experience-focused, wanting a lot of experience and cases to prove that there was a depth of capability in me as a candidate. Overall a friendly interview, although there were a few challenges with IT - Teams/Zoom, etc. Recruiter spent plenty of time prepping me with a lot of materials and content so I could answer questions - although not many of these came up unfortunately.
- What is one thing that you have regretted?
Hello is there anyone at Airbus Airbus defence and space that will provide a referral for a recently posted opening? I am Buyer at Lockheed Martin with 3 years of precessional experience. In short I have: managed over 5 million dollars in efforts, led multimillion dollar negotiations with suppliers, and managed supplier delivery. Thanks in advance.

The interview was non-technical. They didn't ask me to code anything. They were mostly assessing for leadership, interpersonal, and critical thinking skills. It seems they are looking for competent individuals with a team mentality.
- What was a problem that you faced and how did you address it?

They really only went through STAR and went through my resume. Nothing too insane or complicated. Just look over what you wrong and be able to explain in reasonable detail on how you accomplished those tasks.
- Tell me about your resume.
Hey I am currently about 1.5 years into my career live in the DMV as a software engineer. Current salary is 140k. I got the offer with one year of experience I have a TS/sci yankee white. How much should I ask for when it is time for me to leave? I no longer work at Lockheed.

One phone call and one zoom call (1 hour~). Interviewer was very nice overall, and there were no technical portions to the interview. Once admitted, getting the security clearance took a lot of time, so apply early.
- Questions on resume, previous internship experience, easy fizzbuzz

It was one interview. It is behavioral and not technical. It is with a boss or current employees. Prepare situational responses for tell me about a time when you. Networking within the company is helpful too.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Goleta, CA
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Goleta, CA)
Staged interview, based on military higher ups from my company knowing military high ups from this company (military buddies) that created a fake, mock interview that was already planned for a rejection. The two youngsters on the phone praised by answers and knowledge about topics outside of this job description/title. They asked questions not related to this job, and skewed them towards my resume (funny, it was similar to almost the same questions I asked candidates on video interviews for positions at my current company). Again, it was staged and not meant to be a positive experience. They lie about the next rounds being so so so much interviewing and presentations and huge 15-person group panels for many hours, to try to depress you (sorry, I knew it was fake and total lies). Told me they will get back to me in 2 weeks (giggling I heard over the phone by them), and sent me a rejection letter one day later (after they praised my talent). I was teaching them over the phone, because they were not too competent at all. Again, it's a military-based company hiring "military buddies", and who knew the military buddies in my company. Staged and dirty interview setup and tactics. My company is very unethical to instigate it.
- Questions that were too easy and not even close to the job description. Praised for my detailed answers, giggling on the phone from their end, and rejected one day later.

It was pretty hard. The interviewer looked thru my resume hard. We had some technical interviews and some algorithm questions. Overall, it was a very fun experience. The interview process could have been much more smoother, but it was okay.
- Q: how many years of experience do you have.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Fort Worth, TX
I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Fort Worth, TX)
Very laid back and mostly all behavioral questions. Interviewed with hiring manager and dept lead, which took about 30-45 minutes total. Did not seem pressuring at all and just more of wanting to see how well you would work within a team
- Tell us a time when you had to go out your way to assist another.
Hey all! Struggling to actually get into a PM role. I’ve got 4 years of project management experience in a BA role and currently working as a manufacturing planner for Lockheed Martin. I have my MBA,PMP, CSM and I’m trained in green belt lean six sigma. I’ve had a couple interviews that went three rounds. But told i didn’t have agile experience. Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated
Have you thought about DASM Cert? Not the best answer but it’s an option. It’s sucks that you have those creds and exp but they’re so worried about Agile. Most “traditional” projects are agile in some way anyway.

First part is standardized behavior questions but centered around company values, then more technical and tailored to your resume and the position. Finish the interview up with questions for the interviewer.
- Name a time when you had to include diverse opinions on your team.

Spoke to a recruiter and then it was followed up with by the hiring manager. The whole process was easy, but ended up taking 2-3 months. Holiday timeframe may have made it take longer than it needed to
- Behavioral questions only. Tell how you would evaluate multiple options on a project
