Lockheed Martin reviews

Location security can both make you feel safer and paranoid. Cyber security policies as well. Everyone takes their 'level' too seriously. Meaning, a new employee is shunned, ignored, given little thought to when talking to or debating a Senior developer/manager/etc. Little transparency with management to employees. 'special rights and privileges' given to higher up managers, etc. They're behind the curve in both technology/skills used and workplace culture. They literally call their initiative to improve workplace culture: 'culture optimization'. Feels disingenuous, robotic and profit focused. Makes me think of when a company is trying to market to kids, you can tell they're trying hard to be 'youthful' when they're all too old. Same feeling with the manager is trying to figure out what their employees want. Additionally, they use a lot of older technology. I can only speak on the ASP.NET web development side. No teams use MVC, only WebForms. With C# application development, only WinForms is used. But some teams are trying to get into WPF. Confusing time-keeping system and budgeting between teams is a mess. Lastly, all of the cubicles are solid blue and ugly. Doesn't help me feel motivated :/

I worked as a contractor in Data Warehouse project for one of the biggest public body. The management was extremely bully as following: - Constantly criticized me, constantly fiercely rejected all my ideas and suggestions. I was shocked by the fact that such a huge system is designed by a Lockheed Martin's employee who has no relevant experience. - Spreading nasty rumors and made dismissive remarks when I spoke - Shouting at me and other team members - Assign me trivial and menial tasks - Withholding important information from me and did not use correct terminology - Ignored me as if I am a contemptible one - Always expected me to produce work in an unrealistic time-scale - Finger pointing at me in all fictitious mistakes Another manager bullied all team members, not just me. On one occasion he said to a colleague of mine in front of others: 'You know the difference between nuts and your brain? Your brain is smaller'. On other occasion he hit a head of another team member (a petite guy) with a ball saying 'Don't stay in the middle!'. It was so appalling. So I left 3 months (the contract was 6 month initially) following other developers. My health is more important for me than coping with this harassment and humiliation every single day. I tried to inform the management - no response.
