Lockheed Martin Associate Software Engineer reviews

Upper management / Senior leaders. Senior leaders focus solely on their project (this is how they got to their position). There is no empathy if your manager placed you on 3+ projects. You're gonna get worked to the bone at LM ATL. If you're lucky enough to be on just standalone 1 project, you've won the lottery. Pretend to be busy. Promotions are mostly stagnant unless you're at the Cherry Hill office where the managers are. If not, you successes will get no visibility. If you do get promoted to senior engineer, you have to be OK with 3% raises every year for the next 15 years before you are considered for managerial! Quarter of the staff that work here have been there for 15+ years and they are only L4. The management is filled with "its not about the pay, it's about helping the warfighter". BTW, we don't get mandatory Veteran's Day + Labor Day off! If any of that entices you, make sure you're good at writing because you will be working hard and spending 60+ hours a week getting that next proposal win so your team looks good at the next lab's all hands!!

Individual growth for software skills is slow.
