Lockheed Martin reviews

Too many to go tip to extreme detail. Current profits are much higher than at anytime, yet there are constant layoffs of extremely qualified and high performing individuals. Performance assessment process is extremely unfair. Instead of being assessed on performance, it seems to be more of a popularity and nepotism based system. Managers all smile in your face like it's all good, but behind your back they gossip and talk about you to,other employees, highly unethical. They speak to work/life balance, but is held against you if you do not work more than 40 hrs a week.

There is zero opportunity for growth. The company is in decline and the senior management either don't care, or just want to squeeze every ounce of blood out of it before it dies. It won't go any time soon, mind you, but it will go. The amount of process that one has to go through to get ANYTHING done is nothing short of staggering. Process, schedule and cost come before anything else. While Lockheed hasn't been caught up in any recent ethics scandals, they apply very little ethics in how they treat their employees. They are not reinvesting any money in the company. At all. You can't even get them to buy a paperclip, never mind the proper equipment for the engineers to do their jobs. To sum it up: Poor management, no reinvestment, treating the employees like crap, no vision and management by process have brought a once great company to its knees.
