Lockheed Martin reviews about "manager"

Lockheed is a good company to work, but don't work for F-35 Subcontract Management in Fort Worth. There's not training you are just left to figured out on your own. It's definitely a matrix environment and you spend majority of your day updating matrix. The managers in the F35 program are unprofessional, that gossip about their employees. When you need to address an issue with your manager or talk privately there is no privacy, any or everybody can hear what's being said. Some Managers in the F35 program delegate their work to you and can't explain how to do it. The environment is very unprofessional, especially managers, it feel like you are in high school. Low pay it's just not worth it for what you deal with everyday. Don't work in F-35 Subcontract Management, it's terrible over there, just about everyone is new and miserable.

it is a lot of traveling

Limited opportunities for growth, low pay, looked over for promotions and advancements unless you're in the clique or related to someone, some managers are very demeaning.

Only path to upward mobility is if you're friends with the managers or they really like you. Qualifications and experience don't matter when promoting from within. Low pay for experienced professionals (about 10% below market), poor medical benefits, struggling to recruit the right talent for some of the work they're trying to do. They have a long way to go for diversity & inclusion.

Racial Prejudice specifically in portion of RMS (Formerly MST). Minorities were not treated fairly. Lack of direction and leadership led to politics, backstabbing, lack of flexibility and work life balance issues in that org, health benefits were a joke. Everything was a reactive never proactive. Those who did the work and stayed to themselves and didn’t get into politics or the “gossip crowd” were never treated fairly. Too many employees caught up in what other people were making and what level they were and what they were doing work wise. Even had employees slandering others who did nothing. Lack of Fundamentals and Business practices. High turnover where I was and management did not believe in replacing employees instead they tried to do more with less which lead to poor morale and continued turnover to go with poor results. When you bring these things to some managers’ attention it gets thrown back in your face especially the politics. This was by far the worst organization I have ever worked in especially during my last 6 months of my tenure with the corporation and in other orgs outside of Lockheed) after new regime took over. The best business Unit and best place to work was sold to Leidos in 2016.

Too many layers of management. Some managers engage in stove piping and don't take the effect of other areas in to account when decisions are made.
