Lockheed Martin reviews

- Too many people who have spent all of their lives working at the same place. The culture is terrible. Some individuals who joined the company straight out of college 30 years ago still act like teenagers. Imagine having to deal with a 50 or 60 year old teenager. - The workforce is heavily skewed in a particular direction with respect to race. Just guess how that's going to work out if you're a minority. Google "Lockheed Martin discrimination lawsuit". - As a software engineer your skills are highly specialized and aren't easily transferable to other industries. That's probably one of the reasons why so many people stay there all of their lives. They're trapped. - Terrible culture (at the location where I worked, Moorestown NJ). People will hide information from you if they perceive you as a threat who might push them out of their position.

Where to start... - There were literal rats in our workspace, and the only thing the corporation would be willing to do would put down mouse traps and then remove the dead bodies hours after we called to complain about them. The rats could also be heard in the walls/ceiling of the restroom, and a dead rat was very visible in an access panel in the restroom. - There was also a fly problem in the workspace when a pipe leaked brown liquid in the ceiling. - It depended on your area, but I would venture to say the majority of the "plant" building (that is, the main building in Ft. Worth) had not been updated since the 70's and would best be described as "dank". Even the less dank areas are still windowless concrete bunkers. - I had 8 different managers in 5 years. The last two were not even cleared to the classified area in which I worked, so they had no idea what I even worked on (and, as such, had no loyalty). - Will not pay nearly what the position is worth, relying on the "stability" and work/life balance to make up the difference. - Old computers. For a company that wants to appear like it's on the bleeding edge of technology, they were permanently at least a few years behind in machine capability, operating system, and application version (Visual Studio 10 instead of 15). - It's very, very, very corporate. You have to watch your tongue, lest you say or do something deemed inappropriate, and you have to watch your back, lets a corporate ladder-climber use you as target practice.
