Pros

used to be a great place to work; the only pros left in existence are the customers and the good coworkers that are left.

Cons

leadership looks out for themselves; employees feel all the pain; ethics are a thing of the past; good old boy network is strong for top 10% of employees.

Thank you for your honest review. I am pleased to announce that we have been making big strides and changes towards improving our internal communications. Namely, we released a new, monthly internal publication specifically to deliver news from around the company and enhance communication between staff across the company. We understand that this is a vital part of keeping our community informed on the variety of programs and projects we all invest in and work towards; not to mention the importance of keeping you, the employee, informed about the future. Please keep an eye on your email inbox for these publications. Also, remember to check ConnectingPoint for daily news, which we have also sought to make more accessible. Finally, each of our employees deserves recognition. We recently held Employee Appreciation events in locations across the country. We will continue to strive to improve our communications and will be sure to share your advice with senior management. Thank you for more than 10 years.

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.
