Lockheed Martin reviews

Getting hired is a double edged sword. It can be difficult getting an interview (applying seems fairly useless, they will find you if they're interested) so many people are likely to take less money than they want or to work in a program that doesn't particularly interest them to "get their foot in the door." It is extremely difficult to get raises or promotions without transferring around in the company. A major focus of the company is retaining younger employees, most people either leave well before they hit their 5 year anniversary or end up staying for 20-30, not a lot in between.

There is a buddy system with the old timers. Promotions are rather hard to come by. Profit sharing doesn't exist, company seems to care too much for stockholders and director/VP bonus's. Company braggs about record or good profits, but it is never passed to the employees. Raises are usually bad, unless your manager goes to bat for you. Too many paper pushers, you would think we were a scheduling and management company rather that at aerospace company.
