Lockheed Martin reviews about "pay"

Pay is lower that companies in other industries. But still pretty good. I am able to comfortably take care of a family of 4 in TX.

Slow projects, job politics, poor legacy code, and sometimes poor leadership

Sometimes management is too forgiving, people who cause problems for others aren't always dealt with Upward mobility can be difficult, it's important to advocate for yourself and make friends in high places Red tape can get in the way

Very in-group/out-group. You will know if you're with the in-crowd who get promotions/higher pay rises or if you're ignored. You can heroically push yourself to extremes in terms of high-skill work and number of hours working and still it's never enough to please middle management. Promotion for out-group people is literally down to years of service alone. There's a strong sense of hiding negatives or problems in favour of continuously presenting highly positive reports, even when there are crumbling foundations on certain projects. Pay is surprisingly low compared to rivals, no yearly bonuses and non-trivial pay rises are like getting blood from a stone

Large company mentality hard to find the right person to talk too. Long lead times to complete projects

Sometimes very long work hours

accured PTO is not the same though out the company.
