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.

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.
