      Absolutely zero job security

      Senior administrator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The only pro was the fact that they were flexible as far as the schedule went, but that only applied to GD and not the customer site.

      Cons

      No matter what, GD views the customer as being right. Even if you're not at fault, GD will ask no questions. Customer lied to put their own employee in my spot. Way too much politics for a rather simple job with a heavy workload. Speaking of, GD doesn't compensate their employees for the large workload we had. No to mention i received no training. My supervisor didn't know my job nor was he ever on site.

      Solid place to work

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The assigned work is fun, engaging, and plentiful. My managers pride themselves on moving employees around the company if they express an interest toward a certain specialty. You can fairly easily find something you're interested in working on within the company after a bit. As for growth opportunities with new tech, the company has taught me essential skills since I started. Most of my coworkers have been smart, driven, and capable people. Very easy to get along with too. The work life imbalance isn't stringent, and my managers have allowed me to craft my schedule how I like. I feel like the mission has always been important to my program managers.

      Cons

      The culture doesn't really stand out from the crowd, and there aren't really any company wide outings. While the company is getting better at adopting cutting edge technologies, there is still a lot of red tape, strictness, and monotony that comes with government/classified work that can get in the way. With most projects I've been on, it often feels like we're one step behind current standards/processes in this space. Fledgling projects with interesting problems/tools can be volatile and funding may not always be secure for them.
