      Pros

      Working at General Dynamics provides great financial stability. It is a very dependable environment and I have known far more people that move to a different position within the company instead of being laid off.

      Cons

      The organization is so large that many beaureaucratic elements have crept in. For example, ordering hardware or software requisite for projects is a nightmare because of the contracts with third-party companies who manage these orders, require a huge overhead, and complicates what should be a streamlined process.

      Great salary and benefits with a laid back culture, but not a software oriented culture.

      Pros

      Very good salary and benefits. The culture is laid back and everyone is friendly here. I have worked in other companies that stress schedule and overtime to the exclusion of family life. This company is not one of them - at least not what I have seen so far. The vast majority of the people I work with work 40 hour work weeks and are not "nose to the grindstone." My management - even the vice president - is actively involved on my program and very cordial with me. My co-workers are very team oriented and work together to solve very difficult issues.

      Cons

      Not very software oriented since it is an engineering firm. Despite the team oriented atmosphere, I often feel like I am working in a vacuum with few people that understand the difficult problems to solve.

      General Dynamics- A job for all

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      General Dynamics is somewhat insulated from layoffs than other companies in different industries. There is plenty of flexibility and autonomy given to employees. Dealing with customer requirements is difficult at times. There can be times where I am extremely bored and unchallenged. I would like a more fast paced environment to work in that challenged me more. The people here are really nice great. People here are not necessarrily top talent, but are helpful and nice. Overall the 9/80 schedule is tremendously nice. Overall not the most challenging work environment. Also, the educational opportunities are really good, they will pay for schooling for most employees.

      Cons

      There is little incentive other than star awards to do more than your job function. The amount of wasted effort can be frustrating. Benefits have been cut more than two times in the past year. The management has a very egalitarian way of dealing with employees. It is not a compeditive work environment. The challenge of documenting requirements. Sometimes there is not enough accountability or work description of the work to be done. The number of people required to do the job we are doing is probably too many. Sometimes there is just pure apathy around the office. Other than that it is a pretty nice place to work.
