Lockheed Martin reviews about "training"

very political in terms of which staff get opportunities for training and promotion

By the time I recently left, it was: - A horrible dog-eat-dog type of environment - Several layers of managers and people who "think" they're managers that actual managers are afraid to put back in their place - Budget pressures felt companywide which caused: - extremely low morale - months of reorganization/ layoff warnings, again - managers to tell employees there are no more resources for training or additional opportunities - no more than 2% a year raises

to many managers and little training

Still kind of an old boy's network. Uneven advancement. Placement of employees exposed by project contractions is poor. Highly expert specialists are considered a burden to programs.

Federal budgets are declining and therefore LM budgets too - they have been tightening belt and doing layoffs. Not a fast pace of change. Depends on what work you do and what you're interested in, but I never really liked the whole "blowing stuff up" part of the company.

A specialist wanting to practice a specific skill set like digital communications or guidance and control will find it difficult to move from program to program. Job security is lost with mobility. work environment is the corporate cube village with no windows. limited access to good food resources. Plant/campus layout is dis organized. One may have to walk across the campus many times to get needed resources or attend meetings. Engineers must divert time from project goals to fix organizational failures in facilities' maintenance and materials procurement. Shops have limited access due to union labor rules. engineers unions exist in some divisions. Training for ethics and team values is condescending and juvenile.

Old boy network, not ethnically diverse or welcoming, conservative, set in ways, over work their people, pay under market value.
