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.

Pros

The technicians are great to work with and happy to help teach you how things are done. This is by far one of the best groups of guys and gals I have worked with.

Cons

Management is the worst I have had to deal with. the RAS does not provide acceptable training and will get upset when you don't know how to do it you will need to look to other techs to train you to do your job. we are with out parts and tools and put down. Management is aware of this and just allows it to happen leaving us looking for a new job. other then the long time techs who feel trapped no one stays they leave the company or transfer to new areas
