Pros

General Dynamics is a huge company and as such provides a lot of career opportunities and the ability to change careers while remaining employed.

Cons

Overly concerned about charging time to overhead. Wanting to cut overhead costs is understandable, but simply shifting those costs to other areas is not. It is more efficient for work to be benificial to multiple projects rather than be reinvented for each one individually. But this by definition is overhead.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
