Lockheed Martin Subcontracts Program Manager reviews

High stress levels due to inefficient yet REQUIRED processes More "managers" than "leaders" in mid level management positions Antiquated HR promotion system which is based on "years of service" relative to performance Retention issues among junior workforce Easy place to become complacent due to minimal rewards for good behavior and punishments for bad behavior

Lockheed Martin is not challenging and most of the work is not interesting. Lockheed is a 100 year old company and they have been doing things the same for many, many years. Being in Silicon Valley, it's extremely hard to know people at companies like Facebook, Twitter, etc, who absolutely love their jobs and have fun when they go to work every day. Lockheed's compensation is also a disappointment. The salary is fine, but there are no bonuses or incentives of any kind unless you get lucky and get some sort of stock award. It's also frustrating as a young, ambitious person to see Senior Manager and above management be completely incompetent. They made it into their positions because they've been around for 30 or 40 years and that's really not a good enough reason for them to be in a leadership role.
