Lockheed Martin reviews about "manager"

Management, low knowledge, has each other's back no matter what is done wrong. Doesn't like it's senior managers to be told that things they've done for years is wrong and the equipment needs thrown away....( Or the SIE gages with bent indicator tips, unbalanced carts no wheels on back, indicator so old the battery is obsolete and went out of style 30 years ago.

Timecards = billable hours, need 4 days of 10 billable hours which means loooong days. The data analytics and tools are horrendous, way behind the industry and especially anything close to Tech company. LM is certainly not a tech company in terms of rate of adoption and data analytics. Cranky coworkers - because many people are waiting for pension eligibility, they work for Lockheed long after they want to. Makes for a terrible environment. I had managers use me, a 22 year old, to try to settle a score of a 30 year grudge. The pay for the first 1-8 years of your career is far below market. I had one of the hardest jobs I knew and made $49k….out of a nationally ranked supply chain school…Upper levels are doing better.

Lots of government red tape

Managers aren’t always the best. I often have to speak up for myself cause my manager doesn’t.

It's hard to get a promotion, like very hard, teams are overworked and understaffed, there's no respect from team to team, senior leadership doesn't effectively communicate. Its difficult to move internally to a new role.

Awful management. Managers don't care about anything but the project, don't know how to manage effectively, and don't communicate well. Unrealistic expectations and subtle threats to your career advancement. No reasonable logic or flexibility for employee circumstances. HR policies are purposely vague to benefit management. There is zero mentorship even though there is mentorship structure. Very little upward mobility. Pay to start out is decent, but your wage does not scale at all with your experience. In a few years you'll find you are massively underpaid compared to industry standards. The company and employees all echo that it is so easy to move around within, but that is a complete lie. Some of the culture is painfully old-school. It varies by team. This is a typical giant corporation that takes advantage of new engineers for cheap labor and refuses to promote. There is not much diversity, and instances of harassment are swept under the rug. The physical work environment is outdated. The secure facility stinks of mold, simultaneously dim and lit flourescently, has mouse traps in hallways. Cubicle farms have crap chairs and you can hear multiple conversations at all times. IT has given me laptops with bulging batteries and non-functional ports, 20-year old keyboards covered in dust and grime, flickering monitors, broken phones.

Not ready to change Old technology Managers will trick you into company politics

Problem managers are not addressed and simply rotated to a different position.
