Pros

- Flexible working hours, plus a 9 x 80 work schedule means you can almost always have fridays off or working from home. - Good amenities for 1980s standard, there's a gym with an old basketball and tennis court, and a baseball field for rec activities - One mediocre cafeteria in the main building - ability to interface with many employees in various fields of work, but not likely that they will want to work with you - pay is *decent* for the area standards

Cons

- This program and team is filled with people with 20+ years of experience, and hardly any with less than 5. Older employees often stuck in their own ways unwilling to learn new processes. - It is difficult to work with some employees, especially those assigned more responsibilities than they can handle. - People with an overload of work often are not able to complete work to standard, and if you work relies on it then forget about it.

Disappointed, when it’s all done

Pros

Lockheed Martin Australia started in Australia via the JORN project, which they have since lost, but continue with a number of interesting other projects.

Cons

They give the impression of being arrogant and, despite “claiming” to be (unconditionally) ethical, in my experience only actively demonstrate this when it is convenient. I raised an issue against middle-management and my “HR Business Partner” challenged me by asking “what do I really want to get out of this?”. In short I was fobbed off. Upon being made redundant I realised that I de-skilled during my time with the company and reslised how detrimental the toxic environment actually is.

Pros

Good company. Good pay. There are many growth opportunities if you are willing to try something new, relocate, learn new skills. If you want to just coast, you will never move up. New HR initiatives will now pay for certificates and a wide variety of training. They value training current employees much more now. Great opportunities at lockheed for those that are ambitious. Have always been treated with respect. Never had to deal with office politics. Always been rewarded on my effort, which is great.

Cons

It is difficult to get rid of deadbeat employees. There are many employees who coast to retirement. Too little low scoring employees on evaluations. Lockheed tends to let low performers hang on for decades. Need to clean house more often. Many facilities are terrible. Look like the DMV or 1970's furniture, cublicles. Major problem for the next generation of employees. Too often, tenure is valued more than actual technical skills. This is changing, but is still an issue. A young employee may have incredible coding skills, but is denied promotion because the culture tends to only give promotions every 3-5 years.
