Pros

The people and the work were great. In all honesty my manager at GDAIS was one of the best I have ever experienced. He was always straight with me and really did look out for team. The work was interesting and the business unit I was a part of was definitely aggressive and progressive.

Cons

Unfortunately the things I liked about the company did not seem to exist outside of my particular office. The company was slow to respond and executive turnover seemed high, but those are to be expected in a company the size of GD. Part of the problem is that the business unit I was in was run under a matrix style organizational model so communicating and understanding who was responsible for what could get confusing.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
