Lockheed Martin Multi Functional Information Systems Analyst Sr. reviews

Typical Cons of a Government Contractor. Culture is very slow moving and you sometimes have to work with unmotivated employees. The annual increases are relatively low and you have to fight for any increases outside the normal cycle. Promotions are typically based on years of experience instead of performance unless you make a good relationship with a manager that has power. Management is very political and this gets in the way of the teams trying to do work.

The insurance benefits could definitely be better. I have heard the coverage use to be better, but now it covers less. For people with children on their insurance, it almost feels like the insurance is useless. Another disadvantage is the time it takes to get a promotion. Going from a level 1 to a level 2 takes about 4 years, and from a level 2 to a level 3 takes even longer.
