Pros

There were some good employees

Cons

Management were terrible. They make up stories about you and always complain about their employees. The managers I had were really narcissistic and only cared about themselves. The managers never discuss problems with their employees directly, they wait until they are in a room full of people so they can embarrass and humiliate them.

Disappointed, when it’s all done

Pros

Lockheed Martin Australia started in Australia via the JORN project, which they have since lost, but continue with a number of interesting other projects.

Cons

They give the impression of being arrogant and, despite “claiming” to be (unconditionally) ethical, in my experience only actively demonstrate this when it is convenient. I raised an issue against middle-management and my “HR Business Partner” challenged me by asking “what do I really want to get out of this?”. In short I was fobbed off. Upon being made redundant I realised that I de-skilled during my time with the company and reslised how detrimental the toxic environment actually is.

Pros

They generally pay above industry average.

Cons

Middle management is terrible, seems to mainly be yes men and women who seem to spend more of their time managing their internal reputation. Will claim there is a no blame culture, but will blame the leads and staff for pretty much everything. Running joke was accountability stops once you become a level 5. Incredibly bureaucratic. I have worked in both the public and private sector and its probably the most administratively heavy organization I've seen. Very basic low level tasks can require approvals and reviews from a huge amount of stakeholders and managers often with multiple forms and systems. Staff care is very low, burnout was common with raises regularly offered when staff gave their resignation either from overwork, stress or just frustration. Issues causing these problems were never addressed.
