Pros

Flexibility work time. Better personal time off than in other places. Reasonable pay and benefits. Good IT. Many friendly folks. Capable engineers and service personal. Well organized HR, finance and benefit department.

Cons

Most management with business development background or from military, technically too weak to choose their technical advisers well. Too much politics. Intra-departmental fights. Careerism is not discouraged. Ad hoc top management decision making for reporting purposes. Weak project and product management.

Pros

GD-MS seems to win *ALOT* of proposals and contracts. There is always the next big thing at GD-MS.

Cons

Contractors 411: Typically, contracts terminated with no notice. Today will be your last day. Please wrap up your work. It was a very low-rate contract too. Made alot of sacrifices to be on this program. Culture resembled a human wood-chipper ala FARGO. Many senior engineers leaving en-mass. I was asked to take over the role of the engineer who left just prior to my arrival. I called it: I will be next. Good experience once in your life to go thru the human wood-chipper. Toughens you up. However, GD-MS is a great example of how it is that legacy aerospace companies are dying rapidly and startups will be the future in aerospace.
