"Lockheed Martin is often just a seller of man-hours to government customers. It's sad to see so many talented people spend considerable time just marching in place."

"This was a very good company to work for."

"The low morale and low opportunities for a long term career with numerous amounts of lay offs is causing low productivity. Even those who thrive as motivated team players are getting hit with assignments that are well time consuming and of low impact to the user. Maybe other areas of Lockheed are different, but here the outlook is really bleak. I'm gonna say No on the CEO question because aside from knowing the name, the CEO and upper level management rarely see anything in the trenches."
