      Command & control management trying to control one of largest application development efforts (ALIS) of all time.

      Pros

      Some really decent local mid-level staff stuck in a bad situation.

      Cons

      This review is only about LM RMS and the F-35 program. I was there from 2007 - 2018. About every 4 years top RMS would clean house on the F-35 program in Orlando and bring in new management. All of them brought in some good ideas/improvements that most people accepted. The issue is how the ideas were applied and how they integrated the new ideas with the current staff. Every new round of management would come in with the same pompous command & control style. Their thinking would always be that if you were here during the previous trouble then you must be part of the problem. They all thought they knew better and had the magic bullet. The truth is that software development is not a strong suit of LM.

      Place Where Engineers Come to Die

      Pros

      Good retirement, nothing other than that.

      Cons

      Innovation is frowned upon. Meetings are held for everything with no solutions being made. Making solutions on your own without holding useless meetings where everyone and their dog join, then the solution is instantly deemed horrible. Solution to problems are not allowed to be brought up in meetings looking for solutions. Unrealistic goals set by management. Employees are spread across the entire country...only way to talk to someone is through skype. Skype meetings are used for everything, people in adjacent cubes even join the same skype call... You can count on one hand the number of good engineers that work in a project employing over 100 people... The solution to everything is more man power and meetings. You have 3 places you need to log your work time... No free coffee.

      A steady pay check with a good work/life balance

      Pros

      1.) 9/80 schedule allows for an every other Friday off. 2.) Lots of paid time off (4 weeks off to start, 40 hours PTO, 40 hours floating time off) 3.) Benefits are good. 401k contributions are excellent, Health insurance is a high deductible, but cheap if you don't use it (per period contribution is almost free). 4.) Consistent pay raises annually (1-4% based on performance) 5.) Good work/life balance 6.) Certain divisions are much more successful so seek employment with a line of business that has a long term contract 7.) Lockheed isn't going anywhere and the steady business the government provides will keep it around for a long time to come

      Cons

      1.) HR is pretty stingy and you really have to prove your worth in order to negotiate a higher salary when being promoted. 2.) Lots of internal hiring / lateral position moves 3.) Program management teams can make questionable commitments to the customer that don't support the schedules of other groups (Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, etc) this can put you under pressure to put forth work that hasn't been properly vetted. 4.) If you're manager isn't a true leader you will stagnate, unless you take it upon yourself to develop and grow your career
