Pros

CEO placed armed guards at all facilities. Good, safe place to work.

Cons

This division is a third-tier supplier. Unfortunately, mfg will soon move out of California, thus idling more aerospace workers.

Mediocrity rules at what used to be a great company!

Pros

Some extremely talented people in the industry have worked there at one time or another.

Cons

The extremely talented people have left, either voluntarily or not. Mediocrity ensures that you will have a long life at GD. Weak middle management continues to foster that environment. Social ties trump merit. The HR department protects itself. Belt-tightening efforts have cut muscle and bone, rather than fat. What it is left is complete inertia.
