Systems Engineer Review

Pros

- Weekly pay every Friday - Consistent Work; always busy. - willingness to teach younger employees

Cons

- Rarely get promoted - Salary is average compared to industry peers... Room for improvement. - I feel like upper management (VP and up level) do not care how overworked employees are. Rather you put your head down and get the work done versus voicing your opinion.

Cons

Upward growth in levels is difficult if you remain on the same team, so typically switching to a new team or program is the best way to promote yourself. Program leadership has been trending downward, with decisions taking away from the original work-life balance that Lockheed promoted,
