Lockheed Martin reviews about "layoff"

Easy to stagnate if you don't advocate for yourself. Moving around inside the company is a common way to grow, as in-role promotions become harder to come by at higher levels. Bureaucracy can definitely hamper progress and be frustrating to deal with.

After every milestone is the uncertainty of being laid off. For me it was only one year before layoff.

I was laid off (a coworker warned me that layoffs were coming several months prior though).

- Must commute to office one day per week in business area positions, even if it doesn't make sense (corporate positions are fully remote) - Hiring/promotion process takes a LONG time: my L2 promotion took 4 months and L3 offer took 2.5 months - Recently offered internal promotion to Sr. Accountant, but were not willing to negotiate or counter surprising lowball offer (and also wanted me to change schedules/vast increased hours with no training help) - New management and executive teams have led to a lot of people leaving for fully remote jobs. They're trying to cut costs and not force internal layoffs.

The compensation scheme is pretty lackluster. Expect to be working in the same role for a decade in between promotions. The company is too inflexible to really maximize the talent of bright stars and the promotions usually go to those who are the most productive, not necessarily the smartest, most talented, or most capable (I.E., it's a work hard, not smart environment).

Layoffs can happen without much rhyme or reason

Depending on government contracts - layoffs.

Low compensation and lots of red tape

Boom/bust DOD contractor cycle, they have not fully recovered from overreaching layoffs in 2013, struggling to update their dated system engineering methodologies and tools, TOO MANY MEETINGS
