Business Outlook
Pros
I spent the beginning years of my career at GD. It allowed me to grow into quite a robust engineer over 10 years, developing technical solutions to difficult problems. The company allowed for me to transfer between multiple programs, allowing me to continue to grow in my engineering experiences.
Cons
Every year that I worked at GD, there were layoffs. Even though the building was well maintained, it has been going through a remodeling phase for over 5 years, one floor/area at a time. Due to the contracting business, you never know if your program is going to be there the next day. It would be nice to hear some straight facts from upper management so that you can be aware of the current vibe of the company.
