Lockheed Martin reviews

- Overtime is relatively frequent - Palmdale isn't exactly the pinnacle of work locations - overall compensation package is a few percent behind competitors

If you are not in right people club, you are sidelined and no opportunities to grow. The organization is pleaded with age. sex, race discrimination. They wont even offer an interview or consider applications for internal transfer. When asked to a recruiter why you were not considered the job - you will get answers like (1) that job had a candidate in mind or (2) they had a better suitable candidate. When you review whom they hired, it will be someone much low skills and much lower level experience. There is nothing you can do about it. The job and pay depends on how well you are friends with VP or manager. You will see your juniors get past with promotions year after year. People say they made a VP angry and their career is shutdown when they apply for fellow. But the organization talks about as if they care about ethics. They care about ethics for promoting their own personal grudges. People say every one is made equal except few who are special. Sr leadership have unfair advantage and use it for curbing skills if they don't like you - you can see their personal bias and you cant do anything about it. Getting recognized and appreciation from managers are rare unless you are one in the club. Directors and VPs don't investment in employee passion or promotional path causing low quality employees and high attrition and losing the quality in products. Just gets frustrating to feel you are stuck even though you can see you are good. when it comes to innovation, organization keeps talking about how to have a best product but never invest in the process of growing it. All leaders wants to play it safe and discuss constantly on best new world. Nothing really happens. The work is mediocre and lots of roadblocks and favoritism. No leadership but a lot of poor management
