Working at GDC4S-SATCOM was dynamic, challenging and stressful.

Pros

Best reasons to work at GDST is the people. Very team oriented, friendly, helpful and felt like a family atmosphere.

Cons

Reasons not to work at GDST - lack of room for advancement, little or no raises, favoritism by management, poor inter-divisional relationships, disconnection of customer requirements between sales and production, and lack of first article inspections on new products leading to high in-field failures.

Pros

At the time I was there, there was some employee cohesion left over, and a lot of knowledgeable, talented employees, and interesting projects.

Cons

- Worthwhile engineers have left -Employee unity gone as people struggle to keep jobs -No growth prospects -Subpar business ethics, which has led to poor sales and customer relations (which management assumes no responsibility for) -No bonuses -Management will not attempt to relocate you to other areas of the 80,000-large organization of GD. Severance package is pathetic

Talented employees, poor corporate leadership and lack of identity.

Pros

Superb and talented employees. They work their hearts out for their customers and to maintain excellent personal performance standards. Local management are good people albeit with little authority. Fair salaries.

Cons

Snide attitude of corporate leadership toward employees, you know, the ones that come up with the great ideas? Raises are minimal, around 0%-1% and benefits are cut in both good and bad times. Professional development, career advancement and financial incentives have pretty much vanished and replaced with trivial "attaboy" awards. Underwhelmed by corporate leadership - tend to disown mistakes (and there have been some whoppers) and do not give employees a stake in growing the enterprise. No core vision: who are we? Just chasing the next shiny object and throwing away what we can do today?
