Pros

Dedicated, knowledgeable workforce. Strong heritage and tradition from past continues in workforce. Solid reputation due to sterling reputation in SATCOM community. High level of diversity of product offering.

Cons

Cronyism and incompetence rampant at the high levels of management, Executives have been embedded in positions of power for so long that they have no interest in rocking the boat. Everyone else is expendable. Cash is king, The bottom line rules, everyone else is just lucky to have a job.

Thank you for your review. You’re right that our SATCOM team has earned a sterling reputation; interested readers can watch our video on the GDC4S YouTube page to learn more about our SATCOM team and products. Regarding your comments and advice to management, as we work to merge General Dynamics C4 Systems and General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, we have brought together staff on both sides who are working very hard to extract the best policies and procedures, as well as create new systems to ensure efficiency throughout our company when we transition. We are looking forward to making improvements and especially looking forward to the positive changes that we believe will come from this merge. Please keep an eye on our monthly e-newsletter publication that provides updates, from executive staff, of what changes are happening and what you can expect in the near future. Thank you again for your review, and more than five years with GDC4S!

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.
