Pros

Very patriotic company. Our mission is to build ground combat vehicles. The christmas party is awesome. They go way out. Work life balance is pretty good too. There isn't too much pressure day to day.

Cons

Working with the government entities is very frustrating at times. The pace is very slow. The company doesn't inspire innovative work. Some of the old timers don't embrace technology very well. It sometimes feels too big. There is alot of people to go through to get things done.

Good place to work if you don't want to be challenged or obtain real engineering experience.

Hardware engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

A cushy job where one does not need to worry about constant layoffs. General Dynamics is a large company that has a constant supply of new work from the military. The pay is decent and the benefits package is pretty good.

Cons

Management rarely, if ever, acknowledges individual contribution. The work environment is very boring as General Dynamics does little to get you excited about working on the product. There is also rarely any opportunities to test and grow your skills as an engineer. You'll find yourself instead doing "paperwork" engineering.
