Pros

Young employees due to turn over with older generation. Culture is enjoyable making working with others easier.

Cons

Salaries feels really low for the general area. Percent raise each year has been slightly less than inflation. Over worked and spread thin; mentality that all engineers are capable of doing each task to advanced level.

Pros

Prior to 2025, 100% vested. Very stable, PTO is unmatched and work schedule (4x10) are amazing.

Cons

Pay factor is highly dependent on your program. Poor management and of course the revolving door of people joining and leaving.

Pros

Competitive Compensation: The pay and benefits at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics are excellent, making it a financially rewarding place to work. Reputable Company: As a well-known aerospace company, Lockheed Martin offers a strong brand and career stability, which can be appealing for job seekers looking to work in the defense and aerospace industry.

Cons

Toxic Middle Management: One of the biggest challenges at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is the lack of support from middle management. There is a noticeable amount of favoritism, and success often depends on aligning with the right people rather than on performance or skills. This leads to a toxic, politically driven environment. Misleading Probationary Period: While the company states that new hires are on a 90-day probationary period, it is actually 120 days. This lack of transparency can cause confusion and unnecessary stress for employees. Uncomfortable Working Conditions: Despite the high temperatures in the warehouse (often exceeding 105°F), the company does not provide air conditioning in most areas, offering only fans for ventilation. The assembly line is the only area with air conditioning, which creates a disparity in working conditions for employees in other areas of the facility. Poor Communication and Blame-Shifting: There is a significant lack of communication among middle management and across teams, leading to confusion and inefficiencies. Employees often find themselves caught in the middle of blame-shifting and a lack of coordination, which can be frustrating and demoralizing.
