Lockheed Martin reviews about "manager"

The work can be a bit dull and work culture isn't great.

The pay is probably the biggest con. That isn't to say I am severely underpaid, but in comparison to compaines like Bank of America, BCG, fintech, or other similar companies, I am paid far less. The other biggest con is that some of the technologies are outdated due to maintenance requirements of certain government contracts and such. For example, requiring some software to maintain a C++98 standard when we are on 2023.

Some senior managers are incredibly out of touch. Myself and numerous of my friends have also had terrible experiences with hiring managers, in regards to communication and simple respect. I'd maybe expect some of the things for an external candidate, but not for a long term internal employee. You have to truly fight and keep moving around to get a deserved promotion, which is a shame.

Was hired into HW, but was put in a different department and found out when they showed me my desk on day 1. Runs on people being passionate about their work, so they put in unpaid overtime to complete projects. The on-site culture expects this behavior and makes you feel uncomfortable about using your PTO. They pretend to prioritize employees over profit, but in reality, it's "profit over employees". The company says it values diversity/inclusion and such to employees' faces, but the on-site company culture is very different. I wasn't expecting much as engineering is a white male-dominated field, but I was at least expecting honesty or minimal commitment to the company's stated values. But somehow they managed to dig below the bar. Examples below: I have on several occasions worked 12+ hour days (even prior to 4/40 schedule). I've also heard people say they've worked 60+ hour weeks with unpaid overtime. As a young WOC, I was immediately treated as a secretary and had age-ist comments made against me on my first day of work and onward. When I reported this to my manager (a year later with documentation) they told me "That's just how it is". I also heard casual sexist/homophobic remarks being made. ** Pretty sure this differs from site to site, as I felt a lot more comfortable at a different site during a business trip. I was given specific terms on payment/fees for a business trip at the beginning of my assignment. Then ~4 months into the trip, I received an email that there was a "new agreement" in place that I was not notified of and didn't agree to. When I inquired further about the "new agreement", the person I spoke to said "At least we're not making you pay back X amount of dollars", even though that amount was correct in the original agreement and was paid prior to the "new agreement". When talking with HR, they provided me false information to "save" the company ~20 dollars even though it was a business expense. While the CDC was requiring Masking on-site, no one was doing it, and no one was enforcing it even after it was reported.

Fast-paced environment, but it is expected with the line of work.
