Lockheed Martin Senior Software Engineer reviews

No investment in the employee. Average raise for a middle tier rating is 1.5%. 20% overtime is expected. Management will actively block attempts to move to other areas that may interest you more. Program management is unethical and regularly submits underbid proposals in order to bait-and-switch customers. Engineers are not empowered to make basic technical decisions, to the point that vital lab equipment is often purchased on the employees dime because getting approval for a $10 cable purchase takes 6 months.

Stagnant technical opportunities for mid-levels: once you do something, you do it until you die, change jobs or retire. Despite of what management will tell you, there is NO way to change assignments once you get settled in. Also, salaries are super-stagnant: in 7 years of working I have never seen someone who is not straight out of college get hired. They simply can't afford professionals.
