Lockheed Martin reviews about "training"

None to contribute at this time. Company has many openings and is very well established.

When funding was slashed, positions were eliminated with minimal effort to relocate staff to another suitable position in another LM office.

Training budgets have been slashed; salaries have been mostly flat for the past few years

Big Lockheed moves slowly in some areas (i.e. recruiting, functional support, business development) after eliminating many indirect positions.

Lack of communication, dedicated employees are not valued, professional development is not the same at all offices, policies which make it difficult to complete tasks and products, managers who are unaware of important policies and unwilling to learn.

Since its so large it takes a community to get things done. The company appears to have many divisions with a convoluted structure of management which sometimes can be daunting

No paid overtime in most cases. Less emphasis on internal software development. Limited budgets for career development, training courses. Career growth in technical domain limited, very few level 5 and above positions. Benefit costs are high. Salaries not as competitive.

They put people in management positions with absolutely no training or background and when something goes wrong, very quick to pass the blame on (i.e., managers can do no wrong)

You are replaceable, simply an asset to get the work done, so don't expect to be treated as a human with feeling and emotion. Behave as a machine to get the work done and you'll be okay if you do it well. Management and Union cannot get along - both act like little children arguing in a playground.
