GD hires lots of great and smart people. The work environment has always been good.
Cons
The GD way is to hire smart people and to throw them at problems, regardless of background. It can mean good variety, but little opportunity to specialize. In my experience, innovation and continual process improvement is not encouraged.

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).
