Pros

Great people and interesting work.

Cons

Significant leadership changes in recent years has kept the company profitable and stock prices soaring but has eroded employee morale. Expect significant employee departures as the company continues to downsize staff and reduce costs at the expense of employee benefits and compensation in the face of increasing workload. Also expect increasing dissatisfaction and decline in work force productivity and product quality as experienced personnel continue to leave the company.

Pros

Benefits for this company are standard, and the pay is nice. Some of the employees are nice, but the employees that have worked with GD for sometime know that it is better to stay quiet, head down, and no talking. I guess this isn't a pro huh?

Cons

As a new employee, there isn't an introduction on how organizationally things work. Your supervisor could be across the country and could care less about you. You are a Lemming and if you don't know how to go out and find work for the company, you are not worth their time. You are treated poorly, and with contempt. I suffered a stroke working for this company because of the stress that was constantly put upon my shoulders. Stress to do work that wasn't there. I spent most of my time creating reports that were unnecessary and wasn't reviewed by anyone.

Pros

Health care and vacation benefits are okay

Cons

The company moves people from contracts without any advanced notice. It's definitely not a stable or enjoyable place to work, and the management do not respect employees at all. Also, when hired, I was told that there would be tuition and training benefits, but then after being hired, was told no training was budgeted for for the year, and there might be funds budgeted next year. And, contracts are not necessarily managed well, with too many layers of management, and allowing enough decision-making at level where employees are working with customers and understand customer needs best.
