Lockheed Martin reviews

- Depending on the area you are working, there can be lots of office politics. - Being a large company, there is a lot of standard procedure which sometimes acts as red tape. - Employee performance review system continues to evolve but the latest version was poorly executed and is difficult to use.

Applies to Moorestown site. Management slow to innovate on some projects. Only allowed to choose company health "insurance", which is not good for families. Too many layers of management, which makes growth opportunities difficult. Layoffs do not properly affect "soft spots", teams are hit rather than individually selecting low-performing engineers from all departments. Performance rating is determined by forcing all engineers into a bell-curve ranking, with a fixed amount of above average ratings allowed-this allows politics to affect the rating system. Some non-engineers can receive an average rating (3 out or 5), yet get no raise. Association is very weak when dealing with company management for periodic contract renewal. Some managers are much less flexible with work schedules than others, even compared with other managers in the same department..
