Lockheed Martin reviews

They give you very little vacation time, and their benefits are very average, at best.

Disclaimer: All comments are about the IS&GS Business Unit, not LM as a whole. Cons- • In the past several years, IS&GS has implemented the “Age of Affordability”. This has had a very negative effect on the workforce resulting in low morale and disengagement. • Due to the Age of Affordability, pressure has been placed on the workforce in the areas of pay freezes and benefit reductions. For instance, tuition reimbursement has been reduced. • IS&GS has zero training budget. • IS&GS is too slow to react. Both in IT technologies and in market forces. • There is a huge disconnect due to geography. Senior Management within IS&GS is very biased to the East Coast and doesn’t know the market/economy or workforce needs outside this location. For instance, the East Coast does not support the 9/80 schedule. • L-codes (functional managers) are the face of the company. They are counted on to foster engagement, but lack of resources and authority prevents them from focusing on this. • No mid-career growth plan. • Divestiture in pension plan. • IS&GS is over-leveraged to Government Contracting. A more diverse portfolio would counteract big swings in workload.
