Lockheed Martin Senior Software Developer reviews

Stuck in some of the old ways of doing things. LM is a big company, and it is hard to get meaningful change within the corporation - mostly due to the nature of the type of work that has to be done for their customers. Leadership keeps changing organization and realigning departments, but it doesn't do anything other than confuse the workers. Cost of healthcare benefits continue to rise. Raises did not cover the difference in health care costs. Going through a rough spot and not afraid to let good people go. Has very interesting work or very plain, grunt work. It is up to the individual to seek out their career path.

Working for a good manager is hit or miss - there are a few good, some bad, most mediocre. You have to learn to manage your manager. I only saw one who was really horrible, Lots of status reports, yet seem to be surprised when bad news happens. LM has an affinity for discarding senior engineers. Poor raises every year - zero to 2% Benefits keep eroding away - no more pension, vacation accrual cuts, insurance rates keep getting more and more expensive
