Is this your company?

Secure work, long hours, below market compensation, and overbearing bureaucracy - Senior Software Engineer Lockheed Martin Employee Review

Pros

Job security is assured since most of the work is classified and cannot be outsourced. The medical plan is good but relatively expensive for such a large company.

Cons

You will work very long hours a lot of the time since project scheduling and estimation is atrocious at Lockheed. Merit raises are not tied to company performance, do not reflect employee's contributions to the company, and ignore if employee has critical skills the company is looking for. Reviews are very slanted to where you are in your salary band rather than what your compentencies are or the quality of your work. And managers are forced to "push" the majority of employees into the "average" rating to keep salaries down.

Pros

High level of integrity throughout the company, open communications, and sincere interest in doing the right thing.

Cons

Unfortunately, I need to come up with twenty words of cons. When in reality after 41+ years in IT, I have no cons for Lockheed Martin. They are not perfect, but highly acceptable.
