Lockheed Martin – “Not a company I respect or am proud to work for”

Pros

It's hard to get fired unless you violate security procedures or there is a reduction in workforce.

Cons

Much bureacracy and red tape, innovation is stifled. Major salary compression, lousy annual raises. Too many processes, things that make total business sense aren't done and fighting for change is rarely successful. Many bad middle managers. Pervasive culture of not valuing their employees, this manifests itself in many ways.

Advice to Senior Management

Major change is needed and not happening quickly enough. Middle managers are lousy and don't execute visions of executive management. Need to start considering employees as the number one asset- valuing and respecting them. The best people are walking out the door.
