we work together get gain results
Openness and willingness to engage and stimulate your thinking.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
leading, winning work, focussing on givng engineers what they need to be innovative and efficient instead of putting blockers and woke agendas i n the way
Leadership needs to get better at taking DEI seriously - there should be a lot more women in leadership roles, including women with children. They should self-reflect on why product line financial salients and utilization are weak rather than blame direct reports. Focus on retaining talent.
A little education would help.
more money for the little people and bring pay scales in line for the whole business not just sertain sectors
The managers and executives are not engaged with the work force at all, they are not trust worthy, and are perceived as being "fake" by the staff in general. This company is only focused on pretending to be nice, professional, diverse and equitable, but in reality, they are only checking boxes.

unles you are the blond hair blue eyed person of the moment you get no where
Contract that we are on is 9 years old and is no longer competitive.
Discovered at least 20% less across the board being Sub-contractor when compared to Prime. Actual papers and verified by Prime workers. No reason to make less when work load is same if not more.

My coworkers are all very talented and hardworking.
The diverse perspectives and quality of their experience
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Get off their phones and do some work.
try and do there job properly and leave stuff that isnt there's alone
You have too many daily meetings. You can average 5-10 meetings daily and talk about nothing at all.
need less meetings about meetings
Guidance!! The lack of expertise on the part of management leads to disorganization and chaotic approaches to what should be straightforward and simple programs and tasks. Most mean very well and do their best, but wothout effective leadership the workforce can be very ineffective.

Excitement about the work and working with the customer
Being contractors at a Lockheed facility, we tend to get put in the less than ideal office areas or cubicles and despite being seperated from those we work with, the culture is happy and positive.

pay day three more words.
Doing my job well and no one is micro managing
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Review from Product Dept
Management needs a complete overhaul
The company has setup a rewards structure that incentivizes mediocrity. High performing employees are told to leave if they expect to be paid a competitive wage.
Need management that understand that you support the customer. The customer shouldn't dictate your manning, approve your leaves, etc. However no one wants to step and actually be a manager. It is quite a dynamic that is toxic and a set up for failure as currently is.
Company is losing money fast
What do you like best about your company?
The growth and technologies as a whole
Leaving at the end of the day
