Lockheed Martin reviews about "benefit"

Red tape, stuck in their ways

A few of the people I had to deal with at Lockheed were the least capable I encountered in my entire career.

The company is very big and easy to got lost as a number in

Former department played favourites and it negatively affected the team as a whole. Morale was in the toilet because of them and probably still is. Even other departments treaded lightly as to not upset them if employees wanted to move around/outside of that department. They didn't give promotions due to sick leave (illegal) or because they felt there was a line-up for that position (when in reality, they likely didn't want to be shown up by the amazing employee who should've gotten the job). Lockheed is a huge corporation and leaders make well over $300K per year plus annual bonus, but they pay their employees peanuts. Don't settle for the pennies they'll offer you. Their pay bands are also a secret - just another way to prevent employees from being empowered.

This company, particularly LM Space, is on a noticeable downward trend. RTO mandates, forced 9/80s (ironically after forcing 4/10s a few years prior), bad benefits, increased vesting period, no company outings any longer, etc. The pay is also pretty bad, it's basically on par with the other big defense contractors in the region. Forced full-time office work in a SCIF sucks. Management will never admit it, but many programs are ultimately a "butts in seat" operation. They cannot keep good people on the program since the pay isn't great and full-time on site SCIF work sucks so often times the only ones staying are terrible workers that have no other options.

Very slow a lot of bureaucracy

Hard to move up the ladder without switching teams

The union runs everything here. Management has a hard time holding people accountable because it is more likely they will get fired than the union represented employee.

sometimes events can be during the night based on availability sometimes, management unwilling/unable to make adjustments to things that affect team progress, whether within the team or from external teams
