Considering applying in Hawthorn. I have kids, so along with salary questions, I'm interested in neighborhoods, schools, how tough the hours really are, etc.

    I am a software engineer in Seattle and work 9:30am to 6:00pm sharp. No weekend calls or emergencies in the last year. TC is comparable to MS and Amazon. The Hawthorne office is the most amazing place - you can watch rockets being built during lunch :) The city of Hawthorne though is a little sketchy, most people live in other places.

    I will put it like that - the Redmond office (yes, it's in Redmond) is almost empty at 7:00pm while the Hawthorne is about 30% full. The atmosphere is calm, quiet and professional.

    My friend works there. She says it’s normal to sleep 3 hours per night. Not sure if that’s ongoing or just once in a while.

  • Lots of people left Lockheed Martin for SpaceX. Most of them came back to Lockheed.
