Spend a lot of the day leading a small team, engaging with executives or developing software.

As a hardware engineer working in a systems role, I find that my position isn't tailored well to my skills. I have inquired about changing this but have not received a positive response.

At times the work can be very process or administrative-based. However, in Contracts, the day-to-day is fulfilling and consists of contract reviews, clause drafting, negotiations, business improvement activities, etc.

Pros and cons of working at Lockheed Martin Australia

Pros

  • The good work-life balance we get with a 9-day compacted fortnight

  • Flexible working arrangements and a fantastic culture

  • Diversity, both in the work being done and in the people I work with.

  • Good culture, nice people, and everyone is happy to help you learn.

  • A broad range of experience and development without changing programs or projects.

Cons

    • It's a big company, so it can be overwhelming when starting out.

    • Hybrid working conditions are overall great for flexibility, but not so great when you're the only one in the office sometimes.

    • Too many forms of communication to keep an active eye on.

    • Career progress opportunities are there, but the jump can take slightly too long.

    • In some offices it can be hard to talk to people who are not in your vicinity due to cubical style layout.
