Pros

I have worked at GD for over 10 years. Overall, it's not too bad of a place to work. Here are some things I like: - location is great if you like the outdoors - they pay for your masters!!! - you can find interesting work (takes some digging around)

Cons

Unfortunately, there are some serious short comings which I will list below: - benefits have gotten worse each consecutive year - advancement is difficult unless you are one of the chosen ones (Engineering Leadership Program Alum). Lots of nepotism here. - poorly managed programs which are just abysmal to work on. - salary is kind of a joke 😄

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).
