Pros

It was work and occasionally exciting when the project worked. The annual golf tourney and Christmas party were usually pretty nice. HR had drop-dead gorgeous women, which made it hard to concentrate on the conversation.

Cons

Job promotions were announced, only after a candidate had already been selected. No chance of moving up the chain, only a lateral move - no pay raise - more responsibility for the same amount of pay and stature.

Pros

I met a lot of really good people working at General Dynamics Land Systems. If you are a valued employee you can be put on a good program where you can have opportunity, job satisfaction, and growth. There are some really smart and talented leaders in the Systems organization.

Cons

The work that GDLS has is government contract work. The funding levels are declining and GDLS is going through some workforce reductions. There will undoubtedly be some reorganization and instability for a while. There are some weak leaders in the subsystems organization. Subsystems Engineering is attempting to protect head levels instead of cutting dead weight and protecting more talented employees like systems engineering has done. This means the core of the company's product is getting weaker. They need to get better people in the chief eningeer positions.

Pros

9/80 schedule was good. One of the larger defense contractors.

Cons

Very top heavy company. Too many managers and too many levels of managers. Everyone throws each other under the bus to make themselves look better. Lots of racists and bigots with no idea about the modern corporate world. Diversity training needs to be dramatically increased. 1950's culture with too many older people still working there (average workforce age is 42, much higher than the national average).
