Lockheed Martin reviews about "training"

Slow pace, lots of documentation and extensive processes. A lot of mandatory training and indifferent formal reviews and what not.

There were no cons associated this job

Found it harder in the economic downturn to get additional training funds that I desired to help me grow professionally and advance to other positions in the company. As with many bigger companies, the HR functions, IT and your reporting management may not be local and may be more difficult or time consuming to get appropriate answers and assistance when needed.

Benefits options and costs are horrendous. When I started with the company about a decade ago the benefits were competitive and have since dropped off a cliff. I'm on my wife's benefit plans. LM does not spend enough on training for employees compared to other defense contractor competitors. Depending on the program/customer the work may seem slow and overly process driven.

Experiences can vary greatly from program to program, training and development opportunities have been limited in the past few years, can be difficult to get recognition if you aren't on the "right" program, advancement can be slow unless you have a senior or executive level employee giving you recommendations.

HR Interview process for managers is mostly behavioral and by the book. I think it should be more balanced with your skills and experience.

- Max batch of engineers, some can be very good, some can be lazy and bad - Hard to advance career unless you have good network
