Pros

A global equitable salary policy. A benefits package that is equitable to most companies GD's size, to inlcude a generous PTO allowance upon hire.

Cons

General Dynamics is a "product" driven comany yet many of its undertakings are geared towards the "sevice" industry. A product management paridgm is difficult to maintain in a service environment making it difficult to meet goals and standards. It also doesn't lend itself to internal placement of personnel when the shorter service contracts expire, or are lost in a competition, giving employees the impression that they are always living on the edge with GD. Additionally the lack of a focused internal placement of employees left without positions drives a negative connotation of GD as a whole

Pros

Name alone...nice stepping stone for a "real" job.

Cons

Low compensation for such a large corporation Benefits too expensive No mid-manager oversight Low tolerance for family issues This company is only in the DOD contracting world for one think, making the most profit without sharing with employees and the people that ACTUALLY do the work. At first individuals are awe struck with the opportunity to work for a "Named" organization, but those smart enough soon figure out it is nothing but a govt. contracting company that milks our tax dollars with multi-million dollar military contracts - that are in fact NOT awarded correctly.
