Lockheed Martin reviews

The culture is very old school. Its a very competitive working environment since you are rated against your peer group. Performance appraisal process is horrible! Someone always has to fall to the bottom, whether they deserve it or not. Merits are small - around 1.5 for med score and 3% for highest ratings. No bonus/Employee Inceptive Program unless you're in a level 6 position (and not all lev 6 offer EIP) If you're a manager don't think about having any work/life balance and its best if your spouse is a stay-at-home parent or works part-time. Telecommuting/working from home isn't an option if you have direct reports. Management is expected to make up any sick time that's taken, and "raise red flags" if they have more sick time than unpaid overtime to compensate for it. Low employee moral.

The technologies and development practices used are typically behind the times compared to most private companies. You can easily fall into a very niche role and lost the opportunity to maintain or grow any other skillsets. Promotion and job performance is very dependent on working within the established frameworks rather than trying to improve processes or innovate.
