Lockheed Martin reviews about "manager"

Organization restructures frequently, easy to move up to a senior level engineer however movement after that slows down

Large company and easy to get lost and stuck in a position. Too many managers that are trying to do too many jobs.

As a part of a functionally matrixed org, it means you may have several managers to report to and a fairly complex mandatory 360 review cycle that rarely equates to what you get for your yearly raises.

Many times, because of the sheer size of the company, employees can get lost in the system and not receive the one on one attention a newer employee might need. A large portion of middle management is so worried about themselves, that they forget they are supposed to be leading a team not setting up their own next job.

Not too many opportunities for advancement without having to relocate to another state. Limited time government contract(s). Program Management Office in Maryland not understanding the customers in supporting states like Oklahoma, Georgia, and Utah. Relies on too many one-year temporary employees.

Allowing of bad managers to stay too long, very negative impact on employees, Benefits are getting worse over time and requiring more out-of-pocket, having a family is not the model that these benefits are for. Single people will find Lockheed Martin the company of the future, married people, good luck.

the program managers assigned are not to that expectations and don't know much about what their employees are working on. they just guess during performance review and its bad for the employees.

I worked in a team environment, with Lockheed as the prime and Boeing and others as subs. Lockheed's compensation was average for the industry, but lower than its partners. It can be easy to get lost in a big corporation, and can be very frustrating when you don't get to share in the success of the company (no annual bonus based on company performance). They're very stingy when it comes to happy hours, christmas parties, general employee social events, but that's also not necessarily how you judge a good company.
