Lockheed Martin reviews about "manager"

1) Sunnyvale location is downsizing. Due to less overhead expense, most new effort is being proposed to be completed on the East Coast or Denver. Many of the existing programs have transitioned out of California. 2) As programs are ending, there are less opportunities at the Sunnyvale location. 3) Very political. Company allows Senior management to degrade employees with no repercussion. Some programs do not enforce inclusion. 4) Health benefits have become more and more unfavorable over the years. I knew employees that had left the company because the medication required for their illness was no longer covered. Based on reduction of benefit coverage, I payed more and more out of pocket every year. 5)I had experienced great managers and unfortunately awful ones. Unfortunately, nothing is done to fix the awful ones since there is a lot of politics at the company. 6)If you are willing to relocate out of California because the location is downsizing, the Sunnyvale location is for you.

Contract went to Leidos corporation

Medical benefits are lacking, too many unnecessary projects, too many managers

It seems like managers measure their success by how many employees they have reporting to them, regardless of the work loads available. I spent a year in a cubicle with nothing to do most days. After a year of asking for something to do or to at least be taught what my job was, and the same "just look busy" answer from most colleagues, it was time to move on.

Very Process driven, too many managers

sometimes you can work long hours

Most everything. Especially blatant sexism and racism. The work is incredibly slow and doesn’t require much thought they give you months to complete work that should take any decent engineer a week max to do. Don’t expect to work on anything innovative most everything is years behind any non defense tech company.

Low base salary: LM usually beats other government contractors but is usually behind industry by 10 or more for similar qualifications and experience. Low bonus: around 5 percent Low raises: 2-4 percent annually Little advancement opportunity: LM generally prefers to hire outside instead if moving people up inside a department. The exceptions are people who can gently stroke customers and sponsors for more funding or who are in a difficult to fill rec where LM isn't competitive with the market (like cyber and AI). Potentially boring projects High turnover: LM is always getting high talent people poached by other companies. No stock options or RSUs for most employees
