      Pros

      The Initial Pay was good for entry level work.

      Cons

      All roads lead to Pittsfield, MA, & Pittsfield, MA is just that -- the pits. Think of Boston, invert it, and you get close to the idea. Constant travel was a bum too. Little to no recognition for Job Well Done; fubars are well advertised. Management doesn't listen; "our survey says employees love less benefits, so here are the latest benefit cuts!". There's also no training. Bad.

      Pros

      GD-MS seems to win *ALOT* of proposals and contracts. There is always the next big thing at GD-MS.

      Cons

      Contractors 411: Typically, contracts terminated with no notice. Today will be your last day. Please wrap up your work. It was a very low-rate contract too. Made alot of sacrifices to be on this program. Culture resembled a human wood-chipper ala FARGO. Many senior engineers leaving en-mass. I was asked to take over the role of the engineer who left just prior to my arrival. I called it: I will be next. Good experience once in your life to go thru the human wood-chipper. Toughens you up. However, GD-MS is a great example of how it is that legacy aerospace companies are dying rapidly and startups will be the future in aerospace.
