Interesting work but not for me
Software Developer Intern (Former Employee) – Montréal, QC – 20 March 2019
Good pay, old school structure, 9 hour workdays for every second Friday off is overrated. Management is alright, company culture is a bit dated in the age of new tech.
Great place to cut your teeth as a junior developer
Software Engineer (Former Employee) – Dartmouth, NS – 3 March 2019
Good job security, good place to learn how to be a software engineer with a lifetime of reliable work. Good facility with amenities, and treated like a responsible employee with minimal micromanaging.
Cons
Poor pay, pigeonholing of positions, knowledge bottleneck, can be lost in a sea of generic developers, easily forgotten unless you fill the alpha male Navy stereotypes.
Excellent place to work for
Technical Support Analyst - Full Time (Former Employee) – Dartmouth, NS – 27 December 2018
Great employer, hard to get on because of low turn-over in the support field. Highly recommended, I took this coming from Best Buy and learned a lot about corporate enterprise systems. This was a willing-to-teach opportunity and I would recommend it to anyone.
Pros
Excellent work/life balance, great benefits, good pay
Cons
None, retention could be better I suppose
Productive, functional and fun
Interactive Media Designer/Illustrator (Former Employee) – Dartmouth, NS – 8 December 2018
It's easy to have respect for your peers when everyone is so well trained and willing to help others. You can pick your own hours, as long as it fits around 9am-3pm.
Great corporation, limited opportunity for non-US citizens
Head of Corporate Communications & Public Affairs (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 9 November 2018
Great corporation with tremendous pedigree and world-class capability.
The work is challenging, the projects complex and the demand for excellence is abundant.
Perhaps the biggest challenge/frustration is the simple fact that it is a US based defence corporation and thus advancement is limited by citizenship. As a non-American one cannot work at any of the sites throughout the United States. These are State Department rules and non-negotiate.

Good values, clearly articulated. They have excellent training videos about those values and other aspects of working well and ethically.

Good teamwork. We worked together to achieve the company goals and helped each other.
Every other Friday off (9/80 schedule). It took a while to get used to this, but the extra day off is nice.

System Engineer (Former Employee) – Montréal, QC – 18 July 2018
Working at Lockheed Martin was lots of fun. We always had the opportunity to learn new technologies and integrate new systems.
Management did keep us constantly up to date.
The hardest part is being able to advance or transfer out into different groups.

given an opportunity, I would return in a heart-beat.
