Lockheed Martin reviews

Pay is Low, Standard Union issues abound. (low quality employees can’t be gotten rid of, no matter if you work hard, or slack off, you get the same $0.15 raise a quarter.) Advancement is a joke if you are Union. HR seems to block any advancement to salary out of the union. They claim a 9/80 schedule…. until you are forced in weekend after weekend for OT due to understaffing. A lot of the OT seems to be just to tell programs “but we are working the weekend” to get out of being behind schedule. For Example, M-Th you spend most of your time waiting on Engineering to make a decision, but they get it going on Fri… so it fails on the weekend, then it sits, with you watching it. Benefits aren’t great. Union is getting better benefits than salary, but that will change come contract time. 401k is decent. Pay is about 20% low for the Denver metro area for the job and experience level. But you get to say on resume I worked for LM, leading to opportunities elsewhere. Paper is more valuable than experience to management. Fresh out of College with degree? Great opportunities. 10+ years of experience, no degree? No opportunities.

Health benefits are seemingly getting worse and fed to the employees as a positive. Raises per year are nearly capped at 2%, so don't expect much.
