      General Dynamics Mission Systems reviews

      Decent place to work, but don't expect a lot of growth in career and salary - Principal Software Engineer General Dynamics Mission Systems Employee Review

      Pros

      Projects can be interesting and tend do be very focused, so that's great for in-depth knowledge. Engineering teams are generally rather good.

      Cons

      Too much process for the sake of process. The culture does not encourage innovation. Very limited growth opportunities mean that the best and brightest leave. Senior engineering management tend to refuse to acknowledge the problem. An old-line management style does not help - it places a premium on labor utilization, but does not focus on employee motivation and retention.

      Pros

      GD has lots of interesting projects to work on across multiple locations. If you want to make a career at GD, I don't think you would be bored because there is so much to work on. Work has been very stable over decades with no indication that that will change. Work life balance is also valued and generally very good outside of major project milestone deliveries.

      Cons

      Pay is competitive with defense industry but not private sector.
