Lockheed Martin Senior Software Engineer reviews

Employees that reach a certain age and years of service are subject to being laid off so the company can reduce retirement benefits and healthcare expenses. Work assignments can get boring after awhile because of limited duties and responsibilities.Company is slow to upgrade computers and other equipment, work procedures and methodologies. Hires alot of foreignors who barely can read/speak English. Functional Management is not supportive of project management. Employees can get a good review by their project manager, but the functional management will give a bad review and no raise to the employee. Mandatory 5% of employees do not get raises each year and are put into a pool of potential layoff candidates regardless of actual performance - this is often done to non-management senior employees who are within 10-15 years of normal retirement age.

Lockheed Martin provides such a static work environment that does not promote or support the work of excellent employees. It has many of the standard expectations you would find within organizations of this age and size. Glacially slow and old fashioned without a lot of vision.
