Lockheed Martin reviews about "manager"

No extra pay for 40-45hrs

Ex-military managers in position (runs like its the military). terrible benefits

Senior managers often reserve privileges or larger raises for themselves. They also will use more travel and training money instead of spreading the wealth to the entire team. Working remotely is possible, but the downside is "out of sight, out of mind", and you are more likely to be laid off when management is obligated to reduce the contract cost to the customer every year.

Engineers are very top heavy in terms of age. Lots of older engineers who've been there a long time and are very knowledgeable/experienced, some fresh out of college engineers, and not much in between.

Benefits are much higher in price than previous employers for sick medical visits. It can become expensive for families with children.

Overwhelming sense of commitment to the cause can spoil some of the pros

Working with GRID was very tedious, and a lot of my work was associated with just making the GRID sub work groups more organized, which is very manual work and ultimately doesn't seem to accomplish much at all, seeing that GRID may very well be removed in future years. The company is constantly reorganizing, and there seems to be a lot of miscommunication at the higher levels of management. Some of that can be from the shifts at the VP level, but you'd still expect things to look cleaner at least on the lower level.

Lockheed Martin is definately one of those 'big companies' so supporting security programs was often a challenge. I was lucky; the TBMCS and AOC/WSI program managers supported me. Senior execs always looked 'down' on security though.
