Lockheed Martin Associate Software Developer reviews

Cost-saving measures are starting to affect the quality of the benefits

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 :/
