Pros

GD provides training for employees and provides a professional work environment. The work is usually really interesting.

Cons

The defense industry is up and down and its tough for defense companies to balance staffing - so one year the company will be hiring hundreds of people and another year a major contract ends and they are laying off hundreds of people

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).
