Pros

Great benefits and a fairly stable environment. Great place for new grads to start as you are usually treated like any employee that has been around for a number of years.

Cons

Not much room for growth. They use outdated technology. Most programs are pretty chaotic and really behind schedule. Don't expect to be compensated in anyway if you put 110% in. It seems like the people that do no work get just as much recognition as those that do all the work.

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.
