Pros

Definitely they are the type of company that is willing to train and educate their employees to do their respective jobs. While there are the same typical politics that exist in other organizations, they do seem to be very employee focused and do seem to genuinely care for their employees...at least where I work. They are very open about compensation and publish the salary grades for almost every position in the company (on the internal website) and there is an anonymous message board where pretty much anything and everything seems to get addressed there. Certainly, any administrative support I've needed was dealt with appropriately.

Cons

It is very project focused and knowledge doesn't seem to get propagated across different programs. Of course, as we're all essentially contractors for the government...when the program winds down, we'll all get RIF'd if there's no follow-on work and that's an obvious downside.

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.
