Lockheed Martin reviews about "manager"

Cost of living in Sunnyvale is high

- None So far just been enjoying the position

Old technologies on non-classified programs.

A managers first priority is to keep your salary low. Yearly increases are pitiful, in spite of excellent performance reviews. Their attitude is "there are 100 more people out there willing to do your job for less, so take it and shut it, or leave."

It's hit or miss if you're going to be in a rigid and in the past group Managers pushing you to different groups to fill a gap, even when it's not your area of expertise

- Hawkish Middle and Upper Management and Heavy Corporate Atmosphere: Particularly be weary of the "Old Guard" these are your 60+ year old SWE Managers at this company. Many are out of touch with the new generation, and will put you under the table if you get in their way. There are some managers that only care about their pension and about those that do favors for them. - Questionable Ethics (please see above) despite the annual survey results that say otherwise. - Lethargic on-boarding process due to goverment restrictions: This is universal throughout the corporation and the defense industry, and gets in the way of the AGILE process. However, team-members try to mitigate it by supporting each other. - Contract switching: If you are new developer, or even experienced you are at some risk to become "loaned-out" to another team that may work in another completely different programming language or stack that you were hired for. They will try not to mention this during the interview, but it all depends on how big of a budget the manager has at the moment they hired you.

The higher ups are still stuck in the mindset of getting people onsite more than needed.

Company isn't as cut and streamlined and they would have you think
