Reviews
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.
