Lockheed Martin reviews about "manager"

Even if your immediate manager and supervisors are impressed with your work your raises are 90% dictated by higher up management.

Health benefits aren't the best

- My manager was not helpful, only had two one on ones each year and would often make verbal promises that he eventually forgot months later. - boring and broken tech; testing your code locally could even be a struggle and there were pointless Java updates - program clearance took way too long; I was at the company for three years not knowing what I was working before I couldn’t take it anymore - paradoxical optimizations; teammates would often talk endlessly on how to optimize the broken tech they’ve been assigned to. It all felt kind of pointless - confused management and lots of cancellations; 4/5 of the projects I worked on were cancelled which was very demoralizing - clocking in hours on spreadsheets is annoying; often found myself working late because I was lost on a assignment and didn’t want to mischarge. Ended up subtracting my vacation time frequently - teammates were often bad at explaining things (especially through writing). I recall my software architect explaining dependency injection in a condescending manner to insinuate it’s too difficult to explain. After learning it myself a year later, I’d say it’s not that complicated at all. - teammates were a bit backstabby during year end reviews

if your manager has no idea of the work you do, then the people you train that are at his site will get promoted over you, albeit for still less pay. You will get a 1% raise a year if you work your butt off. also hours 40-45 aren't paid for, they are considered a donation to the company. Last, overtime is just straight time. have fun...

Managers micromanage, a lot of turn over.

Sometimes has a bad work-life balance, bureaucracy

Inexperienced manager with Attention Deficiency Disorder

Government work seems a bit unstable currently

Salary can be lacking If you work on plant, facilities are a bit lame, no windows, spotty cell service Funding for programs can be spotty, so be prepared to play ball.
