Generally a decent place to gain experience and potentially have a career. - Section Manager General Dynamics Land Systems Employee Review

As a defense contractor, so much of our work and work force is contract dependent. It's virtually impossible to maintain staff if funding is cut, no matter how temporary. I've had to lay off people just to rehire them 90 days later when funding gets straightened out...if the good people will come back (a lot do). The compensation system is severely flawed. They limit promotions to a very few, if any...sometimes a moratorium on promotions last 2 years. Young and talented people will not wait forever to be recognized. Also, the annual 'merit' reviews and associated salary increases are based on so many things that have nothing to do with your actual job responsibilities or performance.
