Pros

Good starting salary. Decent benefits Nice Facility

Cons

Layers upon layers of clueless management If you know the right people, a Director position will be created for you. It's almost comical, but very true and sad at the same time. No pay raises for employees while upper management receives huge bonuses and stock price surges. In the 3 yrs I was with this company, I saw constant layoffs of competent long-term employees while relative newcomers like me were spared. Morale is terrible and there is a general feeling that Engineers are interchangeable and disposable. Customer focus is blurred at best. I was very fortunate to get out of this place on my own terms before it destroyed my career.

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.
