Lockheed Martin reviews

The pay could be better and there is little documentation of the code base. They also take a lot of ideas from smaller companies such as "flex time" and manage to turn them into very corporate policies that don't work all that well. The amount of paperwork required can hinder an employees productivity, but also is a necessary evil in the defense industry.

- There seems to be a corporate wide effort to outsource as much engineering and technical work as possible. - Upper management seems to be encouraged to separate themselves from line level workers. - Incentives for upper level management are often counter to stated company goals. - Good managers are put into a difficult position of towing the misdirected company line while still trying to motivate employees. - The latest management tool (e.g. EVMS, SAFe/AGILE) will be forced on all workers regardless of any possible benefit beyond a specific area. - Performance appraisals will mostly focus on justifications (read that as excuses) for a minimal compensation. These justifications will often directly contradict quarterly performance reports. - Trying very hard to form an inverted pyramid business structure.
