Pros

Very interesting programs to work on. Good culture of respect and collaboration among the engineering staff. Lots of really smart, highly capable coworkers. Stable work - many of the contracts we have have been with us for years. Good work-life balance. Manassas is well situated for a variety of living options - you can live away from DC and have a reasonably affordable house on a decent sized lot, or you can live towards DC and have easy access to the amenities of the big city (and a reverse commute).

Cons

Pay and benefits are mediocre. Salaries for existing employees gradually fall more and more below market as the maximum "merit" raises possible don't keep pace with industry salary growth, or even with updates to the corporate pay scales. Facility is old, and in many ways run-down. Restrooms haven't been updated in decades, and haven't been deep cleaned or maintained properly for years - several regularly have standing water from leaking plumbing. IT infrastructure and policies are archaic. Two monitors for engineers is not a big ask.

Pros

9/80 Flex schedule - Every other Friday off.

Cons

HR and Recruiters' communication skills and professionalism are abysmal. There's very little to no opportunity for upward advancement. Management is unable to do the one thing they are supposed to - manage. Health benefits and benefits in general are horrific for a company this size. Resumes are thrown to the side by recruiters who don't even understand the job they are hiring for and are not even a part of the interviewing process. The first 5 hours of overtime is considered "free" because "you are a professional and are expected to act as such" which is extremely unethical and most likely illegal. In this state, overtime MUST be paid unless the employer and employee both agree that any hours worked over 40 hours for the week will not receive compensation. No where do employees ever agree to this, Lockheed just doesn't pay for the first 5 hours of overtime.

Pros

Every other Friday off if you are not working the weekends and nights 401k match is ok but the pension is gone Some training if you can get it approved You don’t have to work if you praise management 20% of the people work the rest rely on them to take credit for their work Lots of good people work here most of them on pensions and close to retirement

Cons

If you work hard other will take credit for our work. Diversity can be overly sensitive but fair The Silos can really make teams fight each other in IT and other business functions Long hours with no OT pay equals McDonald wages with your small bonus if u get one Their raises are more like cost of living increases The pay is much less then the industry average by 15-20% less Military rules and way too many managers not enough workers in RMS
