      Good engineers, but questionable leadership.

      Pros

      Coworkers and compensation. The best people I've ever worked with are in GD-AIS Gilbert. They are, in general, very good engineers, but more importantly they are a very enjoyable group to be part of. The compensation is very good, but that is changing. Even though we're told the company is doing well, there will be no merit raises in 2009 and the 401(k) company matching percentage will be lowered. Another plus is that it still has a small-company feel from when it was privately owned.

      Cons

      Questionable decisions by youthful, inexperienced executives. All I hear are buzzwords coming from them with no firm statements about what is going on. Middle management is better, but they don't get much information from above them.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay above the standard for area and similar jobs. Excellent benefits.

      Cons

      No upward mobility. Management will not support non-engineering employees. GDC4 management defends questionable behavior of its engineering employees. Hides poor work ethic among engineers. Rewards poor performance by moving them out of sight

      GDC4 Systems - a great place to work and learn!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      General Dynamics has many programs that are on the cutting edge technology - even though most of these programs are military/aerospace oriented. The company has many opportunities for career and professional development -- managers never say no to requests for classes or college work. The workplace is very collegial -- the coworkers are very pleasant to work with; people will stop what they are doing to help you. GD is also very process oriented. It helps bring discipline into an otherwise chaotic technology development cycle.

      Cons

      GD has only one major customer - the US Government. Therefore, there is some risk in long term career prospects although many of my colleagues are 20 year veterans in the company. The company achieves product diversity by being in a number of defense programs -- hoping that even if one or two get cancelled, the other programs will balance out the losses.
