Scheduler salary at Lockheed Martin

Employees appreciate their colleagues and team members, consistently noting that co-workers are professional and supportive. Many value the technically challenging and interesting work in defence programmes with cutting-edge technology. The compensation and benefits are competitive with industry standards, and the work/life balance is valued, including the nine-day fortnight arrangement. Professional development opportunities are available through training programmes and online learning resources for those who pursue them.

However, there are some potential challenges, including concerns about upper management and leadership consistency, with some employees noting a disconnect between executive messaging and operational support. Career progression opportunities may be limited in certain areas and can depend on location and business area. Internal processes and systems can be bureaucratic, particularly given the complex relationship between US and Australian operations. Some employees have indicated that the work environment can be high-tempo and demanding, especially when working closely with military customers, and organisational structure and support can vary across different programmes.
