Engaged Employer

It was good at the beginning, went downhill in the last few years. - Senior Software Engineer General Dynamics Mission Systems Employee Review

Pros

Decent compensation (although falling slightly behind compared with the rest of the pack), flexible work schedule (every second Friday off if you work one hour longer days), a turkey for Christmas.

Cons

Lots of inefficiency and bureaucratic rad tape, outdated and rigid processes. System architecture and engineering which should lead the development is often either too late or irrelevant. The company is seemingly losing the edge over other competitors in the cut-throat defence market, hence a steady trickle of layoffs.

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).
