Lockheed Martin reviews

Management: Lockheed's hierarchy is a huge mess of managers, program managers, and other kinds of managers. There isn't much visibility up the management chain unless you are involved in a red project. In my experience, there seems to be a constant in and out flux of management types into and out of programs. Growth/Recognition: My biggest complaint about Lockheed is that it seems very hard to get recognition or growth opportunities for new employees. There is a big hierarchy already in place and a lot of old guys that are used to doing things a certain way. This barrier can be overcome, but it is not easy for a new college hire. I have put in a big effort to move up in my performance rating and felt that my efforts mostly go unnoticed. I also feel like I can't be as creative as I would like to be because of the line of work that Lockheed does (Integration and Test, Contracting, etc).

Lockheed Martin provides such a static work environment that does not promote or support the work of excellent employees. It has many of the standard expectations you would find within organizations of this age and size. Glacially slow and old fashioned without a lot of vision.
