Lockheed Martin reviews

- Upper management was ineffective and directing subordinates to collaborate and there was a re-org or change in leader every several months. - Big company with many processes that slowed down efficiency - Benefits kept going downhill, i.e. moved over to high deductible health insurance plan.

The culture in this particular location of Lockheed Martin is abhorrent. The culture experience for me personally has been anti-female, anti-millennial, anti-advancement, full of bullies, negative peer competition and backstabbing coworkers. You will be treated as many of the following stereotype cliche phrases read: seniority rules, totem pole, last man in first man out. You will be told to prove your worth when noteworthy assignments are handed out to favorites. You will be treated like the new guy until the next new guy comes along (which could be 5+ years) . There are boys clubs, quite literally, in every department. If you aren't personal friends with management you will get thrown under the bus when it comes to career opportunities. Atlanta area site has been undergoing a culture change initiative because of these issues. IMO the only reason HR pushed out the culture initiative is to have a measurable metric, (read anonymous survey) to prove the culture has improved. The turnover rate is incredible for young people. New training rolled out to enforce "how to work with millennial's". Because senior Lockheed employees treat the now largest age range in the workforce like they're worthless. One of the biggest initiatives is how to retain new talent... I cannot make this stuff up. Oh and do not bother complaining to HR about any of these issues. HR is built to protect the company not the employee. They supplement the negative culture and feed the middle management monsters it creates. Also, corporate is too far removed from the satellite locations to know what's really going on right under their noses. When big executives come to visit it is definitely the "dog and pony show". The disingenuous engagement is very apparent from all sides.
