My time with GD

Pros

People there are bright, pleasant, and work very hard.

Cons

As the defense budget shrinks, defense contractors will be placed in deep financial trouble. This is not a growth business anymore. Stale technology and process. Not really sure GD wants to be a software company.

Good compensation, generally interesting work, but poor management

Pros

The pay and benefits were pretty good until recent cutbacks (partially due to military cuts and a generally "down" economy). The work can be interesting and challenging.

Cons

A lot of bad management decisions have been buffered by the ridiculous profit margins that defense contracts often have. As the government becomes more fiscally responsible, this problem will need to be addressed. These bad decisions often result in missed opportunities or more work for those at the bottom of the food chain.

Committed to the soldier, advancing technology

Pros

General Dynamics is a great company, GDC4S's work is in an interesting intersection between technology and defense. The company is getting through sequestration well.

Cons

The benefits are slightly less generous than what the federal government offers, but still decent.
