Lockheed Martin Staff Software Developer reviews

Incompetent middle and senior management Company seeks technicians over engineers Little room for creativity in software Failing 20 year old practices Long term, little chance for growth or advancement (in both career and personally) Locked into aerospace after too long a time, with great difficulty in transitioning to more "normal" software business companies Big on talk but little on action.

There is a minimal training budget and it's VERY difficult to get any classes. They offer things like after hours courses taught by other employees, but it's all on your own time. It's hard to get the $$, let alone charging time to complete training or certifications, even those directly applicable to your job that would really help the company. Awards budgets are super low and whenever they feel a pinch, the first thing to go is any sort of employee morale money. Which means no holiday parties, no book budget, no employee morale events. It's such a big company that you can get lost at times and even though it's "one company, one team" each site and business unit is completely different.
