Pros
Great experience. Great name and some great people to work with. Plenty of opportunities to move up but they become limited when you reach a level 4 or above as you need direct experience in the exact area of the job unless you are part of the in crowd. If you have the experience, you will have potential. Had fantastic managers (1st and 2nd line) over entire tenure up until the last 6 months Of employment.
Kontras
Racial Prejudice specifically in portion of RMS (Formerly MST). Minorities were not treated fairly. Lack of direction and leadership led to politics, backstabbing, lack of flexibility and work life balance issues in that org, health benefits were a joke. Everything was a reactive never proactive. Those who did the work and stayed to themselves and didn’t get into politics or the “gossip crowd” were never treated fairly. Too many employees caught up in what other people were making and what level they were and what they were doing work wise. Even had employees slandering others who did nothing. Lack of Fundamentals and Business practices. High turnover where I was and management did not believe in replacing employees instead they tried to do more with less which lead to poor morale and continued turnover to go with poor results. When you bring these things to some managers’ attention it gets thrown back in your face especially the politics. This was by far the worst organization I have ever worked in especially during my last 6 months of my tenure with the corporation and in other orgs outside of Lockheed) after new regime took over. The best business Unit and best place to work was sold to Leidos in 2016.
