Management at Lockheed Martin Australia

They have a matrix management structure. So you'll have your technical manager, day to day on your project. Functional manager who is in charge of you, (leave, pay, career development) and an assigned mentor who will see you once a month. I have a great relationship with all three.

My managers are very approachable and make excellent mentors. They organise regular catch ups to discuss work satisfaction, career goals, provide feedback, and seek feedback for themselves.

Engineering managers are good, if a bit distanced from me. I haven't received much feedback

Direct managers are very accessible, however higher than them is harder to interact with

Very present management - their door is always open and the managers really make time to build relationships with you.

My manager sits right across from my desk, so very easy to access and confirm any questions I might have. He is a leader of the team, and so I feel as though I've learnt a lot in terms of engineering rigour and prioritization of work. Praise and recognition is given at our monthly Agile Sprint Review Retrospectives. Performance feedback is also provided here, whether it is positive or negative.

Management are approachable and are good mentors for grads.

Great accessibility and great mentors at a lower level. Highest levels of management are less involved in this process understandably.

Daily stand up meetings make for close interaction which is great

Managers are available to speak with but in some cases do not keep in regular touch with project team. Serious communication issues can arise.

Good communication usually about performance, functional can have good or poor communication at times. Rewards for hard work are good, for instance a paid for meal.
