Odd culture that tolerates mediocrity while penalizing those who don't - Anonymous employee General Dynamics Employee Review

Pros

Good 401K matching. Good PTO scheme.

Cons

Highly insular culture that generally promotes to senior leadership levels those who have been with the company for decades. Does not welcome or encourage views from late-comers to the company. Because it prefers its managers not "rock the boat", GD has become a risk averse culture that tolerates mediocrity because it's a safer alternative. Very much a "good ol' boy" and "good ol' girl" culture that favors known entities who have survived by going along to get along. Unless you have a few decades to devote to build your career here, don't expect to be an executive at GD.

Good communication between supervisors and production employees. From hiring, human resources, management, supervisors, and other employees I was respected and had a very personable experience.

I don't have anything negative to say about the company.

Pros

1. Great Pay 2. Supervisors work with you 3. Cleanest atmosphere out of every factory I've worked

Cons

1. Mandatory 7 days a week working 8 hours or consequences, (they are in the business of killing people they'll be okay killing you) 2. Their HR isn't there for the family life it'd be okay for a single kid just learning to work supervisors will help the best of their ability though knowing how it is with a family. 3. It gets very very depressing just because there is nothing to look forward to because they cant keep with a deadline and keep pushing any promises of change.
