Pros

The benefits are among the best there is, and while the site management is too busy trying to be every bodys buddy to be effective, the corporation as a whole strives to take care of their employees while maintaining profitability.

Cons

Site management has failed to maintain a level of professionalism to be expected of them. A serious lack of integrity within mabagement, resulting in a lack of respect for management by employees. Middle management at the site spends too much time listening to employees whoh are trying to impress them with what said employee knows, and too little time acually observing employees in the performance of assigned duties.

Pros

Working for General Dynamics is one way to help our armed forces be protected by enemy threats. The benefits are pretty good and the company still has a pension plan.

Cons

The senior leadership doesn't always seem to completely understand the market and customers it works with, though there is a current effort to remedy some of this.

Pros

General Dynamics can provide one with the opportunity to work with the latest technology and contribute to our national defense while at the same time making a decent salary. The work can be fascinating at times.

Cons

The upper management (at least in GD-AIS) were mostly promoted from within. Their level of accomplishment was at best average during their years in middle management and program management yet some of them display a remarkable degree of arrogance now that they are in senior positions. It can be hard to tolerate at times...
