Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Lockheed Martin to a friend?
Yes

It has given me the confidence boost I have needed when it comes to believing myself. Within Lockheed Martin nothing is impossible. Everything you set out to achieve is do able and the support around makes it all worth while.

Be yourself, show the employers what you have to offer and be honest. For me it was a big career change and it is one I wished I had done sooner. So if you are considering to apply go for it!
