Pros

Superb and talented employees. They work their hearts out for their customers and to maintain excellent personal performance standards. Local management are good people albeit with little authority. Fair salaries.

Cons

Snide attitude of corporate leadership toward employees, you know, the ones that come up with the great ideas? Raises are minimal, around 0%-1% and benefits are cut in both good and bad times. Professional development, career advancement and financial incentives have pretty much vanished and replaced with trivial "attaboy" awards. Underwhelmed by corporate leadership - tend to disown mistakes (and there have been some whoppers) and do not give employees a stake in growing the enterprise. No core vision: who are we? Just chasing the next shiny object and throwing away what we can do today?

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.
