Good compensation, generally interesting work, but poor management - Anonymous employee General Dynamics Mission Systems Employee Review

Pros

The pay and benefits were pretty good until recent cutbacks (partially due to military cuts and a generally "down" economy). The work can be interesting and challenging.

Cons

A lot of bad management decisions have been buffered by the ridiculous profit margins that defense contracts often have. As the government becomes more fiscally responsible, this problem will need to be addressed. These bad decisions often result in missed opportunities or more work for those at the bottom of the food chain.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
