Lockheed Martin reviews about "manager"

Administrators and Schedulers were more in charge than program management sometimes Performance Reviews were a Farce - Functional Management took over all ratings and gave the official evaluation (numerical rating) prior to written performance evaluation by employees and program. My functional manager had 350 employees and HR told us he knew the jobs each were performing better than the programs. For example, I received a Outstanding Performance Award for 13 successful missile flights and two days later received a performance evaluation that stated I needed help accomplishing my job. When I questioned the disparity between the two HR told they didn't see a conflict. Even when my program VP questioned evaluation Senior Management stated they would not get involved with employee reviews.

Some managers take care of themselves before the employee Have to be a member of the good ole boy club in most BU's

Higher Pay competitive with the local area

Sometimes it's hard to find a good group.

You will get laid off because Lockheed Martin and Lockheed Martin Sikorsky cannot keep there contracts or your horrible leadership will put crap managers in charge that don't know how to properly put certain things in the budget so you can keep a job. Just not worth it. Work anywhere else but here. I lost my job due to with running out of funding or funding being cut by the government twice in two months.

Very stingy on authentic promotions, forcing people to apply to other reqs internally or at outside companies to move up the ladder. Culture is so heavily stovepiped to the point that the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. Overall job satisfaction varies drastically based on your program/function/IPT. Lots of self promoters, brown nosers, inept managers, and idea men to go around.

From the first day I started working here I noticed that not a single person in my group introduced themselves, and still hadn't even after my first month. Anyone I passed in the hallway wouldn't even look up from their shoes to smile or say hi. This site is filled with anti-social personalities and you can feel suffocated by the environment. You're expected to know everything about what's happening in your position and all the technicalities of your role from the minute you start with little to no training outside of the blah blah company ethics, values, and why you should love the CEO. The culture in this facility needs a major overhaul and until that happens there will continue to be low employee retention rates, especially among new hires.

Some, managers don't embrace the company's plan but play lipservice and continue to embrace old paradigm practice

Long days, short weeks, sometimes difficult managers
