I know they did some cool stuff a long long time ago, but how do they manage to pull that off? From my experience government contractors make even the coolest job/project a miserable, bureaucratic nightmare destined for the bottom tier of mediocrity. If they don't their government handlers usually do.
Also, Lockheed Martin is responsible for one of the most infamously incompetent IT projects in the history of the world. The FBI's digital case management system. They weren't responsible for the project from the very beginning, but their involvement wasn't blameless.
appears that you need to work more on re-wording it. the current question presumes that FAANG companies already have "great engineering culture," but that probably doesn't help the reader/respondent much.
maybe more anecdotal answers will help? a question along the lines of, "what makes the engineering culture at your workplace great?" may solicit the answers you seek.
