Program Management Intern

May - August 2019 • Lexington, KY

What I liked

I loved feeling like a real full-time employee at Lockheed Martin, as opposed to an intern. My opinion was highly valued and the projects I was working on made a difference in the company.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have had more daily interactions with my direct supervisor who was a high-level manager.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions! It shows you are engaged and care about the company you're working for. It will also make your transition into the company and culture a lot easier!

Mechanical Engineering Stress Analyst Intern

May - August 2019 • Sunnyvale, CA

What I liked

The work environment with a supportive community and mentors to guide me. They helped me acclimate to the work and location. The work itself was technical and helped me build my skills as an engineer.

What I wish was different

I wish they had helped me find housing. I was moving cross-country for the internship. They gave me a stipend, but I had to find my housing myself

Advice

Explore. Don't just go to work and go home. Take day trips. Take weekend trips. Just get out there and discover everything you can in the short time you are there.

Human Resources Intern

May - August 2019 • Titusville, FL

What I liked

The culture is great. They really care about employees achieving their goals. If employees want to try a new job role, the managers do a great job of helping the employees to accomplish that. They also help their employees be successful in their job roles and give them plenty of resources to do that. I also really liked that they have a 9X80 work schedule. This means that M-TH employees work 9 hours and then work 8 hours every other Friday. This equates to 36 hours one week and 44 another week. It seems like a lot in one week, but it isn't bad and totally worth it to have a Friday off. I also liked that we got paid every Friday.

Computer Research Scientist Intern

May 2019 • Arlington County, VA

What I liked

The atmosphere is fun, they have a great team of engineers who welcome you with open arms and treat you as an equal. The work is intense and exciting, you contribute to important projects and can see the impact you have. Every person there is happy to answer your questions; I am continuously picking their brains. They challenge you to step outside your comfort zone so that you can grow, but you never feel like you've been thrown in the deep end. There is minimal "bloat" to the internship program; you begin on your project within a day or two of starting. This was an incredible experience.

What I wish was different

The hiring process could have been a little smoother. A lot of the communication was handled by HR interns, and sometimes the ball got dropped mid-communication, requiring me to reach out to others.

Advice

Take notes on any constructive feedback you get, whether it be at a career fair or during/after an interview. I was informed of knowledge areas I lacked, and knew what to focus on going forward to set myself apart. Take their advice to heart and put in the effort to better those areas! This will help you in your career now and in the future.

Summer Intern

May - August 2019 • Trumbull, CT

What I liked

I enjoyed learning about the type of work that Lockheed Martin does, and meeting so many new people. I really enjoyed an offsite vendor trip in NY. It was really interesting to see how many different parts are used in their product, and how detailed it is to track all of those parts.

What I wish was different

I would have liked more vendor contact.

Advice

Make the most of your internship. You will discover what aspects of the experience that you enjoyed and other aspects that you may not enjoy. It should help you figure out what you would like to do as a career when you graduate.

What I liked

I never did any of the “intern duties” like checking dates, making copies, or anything like that. They trusted me from the beginning and have been really supportive of all my work. It is fast pace and exciting, you are not stuck behind a desk all day.
