Lockheed Martin reviews

IS&GS division tends to be led by a results only division. Very low consideration for the best interest of the employees if it doesn't fit within the business need. Advancement across various business units are welcomed, but they can be career impacting if a manager learns of your interest to leave the nest.

The pay is significantly lower than it should be. The software engineers I work with tend to have the mentality that 'the old ways work' and do not wish to learn newer, better technologies and standards to make a cutting edge product. Instead you deal with people making decisions on things they know little or nothing about and then imposing a process to make changes on those poor decisions making it extremely hard to fix problems since a majority of the reviewers for changes dont know what they are doing. I have never heard of engineers not willing to learn more about their job so they can do it properly. Most people have a twisted idea of what agile development is as well. I am working in a broken waterfall that is being called agile. In addition, as someone who has proven that they operate at a higher pay grade than they are at, LM makes it extremely difficult to get a promotion or pay raise to get it to where I am being payed appropriately for my work. They also just implemented a 9/80 work schedule that is terrible compared to the previous flex schedule after claiming 'positive responses' toward it. I have yet to meet one person who likes it.
