Lockheed Martin reviews about "training"

Dropped contract after 6 months which was supposed to be 1 year.

Continue updating the diversity training as well as leadership training.

Isolated from Company at Customer More Internal Training

Lots of red tape and can be hard to get things done. Promotions can be difficult to obtain at mid and upper levels.

Since it is such a large company, their overhead budgets (anything not charged directly to a contract) are fairly limited, but I think it keeps costs down so that new opportunities can be won. The facility I where I worked had a training center that allowed the workforce to take classes on their own time, so that was a benefit.

One must rely on personal network to move ahead. Many end up leaving because it's difficult or sometimes impossible to get promoted.

- There are not enough people to do the work. - Despite LM's great Ethics training, the "on the ground" culture is homophobic, sexist and just generally obnoxious. If you are not white, be prepared to be commented on behind your back. - Systems and processes are not up to the job and where they are, not followed. - Hiring practices are not transparent. - Training is non-existent. You are expected to know everything upon arrival. - The culture is extremely long-hours - if you want to spend weekends with your family, LM is not the place for you. People who take time off for childrens' assemblies and the like are frowned upon. Flexible working is not available. - Pay is not good for the volume and level of work expected of individuals. - Benefits package is poor, especially considering the hours required and the hours expected. - People are expected to switch jobs at short notice and with no change to T&Cs.
