Engineering career advancement is a joke. - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) Lockheed Martin

In my 5 years with Lockheed Martin, among my scores of engineering colleagues I saw just one engineer promoted, and that was at a more junior level. Merit increases are an embarrassment, less than the inflation rate. A broken corporate-wide training tool was deployed which fails to give credit for completed training, then the burden was placed on employees to prove they completed their training. Not only was an apology not made, this disaster was never even acknowledged, a typical corporate behavior.
