Lockheed Martin provided me with an excellent opportunity of a Summer Internship for four summers. Upon my graduation with my MS EE they offered me a job that was significantly lower than other defense contractors at the time. I was very interested in working for them because I enjoyed the work, the people and the location, unfortunately when I asked them to consider other offers I had received from similar defense contractors they said there was nothing they could do. My next request was simply to tell me which job I would be doing (since as an intern I had done a number of different positions, some better than others). Again they stated they could not tell me specifics which job I would be assigned. Since another contractor offered almost 20% more, provided me with a detailed job description and was in a similar cost of living area I chose a different employer. Being raised to be faithful to my employer it was a very difficult decision, however as I look back upon it now, the company with whom I am presently employed has been more than generous and I love my job!
