      Pros

      Working for large Defense Contractor in DC Metro area. Opportunity to support more than one large Government program in a team environment.

      Cons

      Poor work/family life balance. PTO is shared for sick, personal and vacation. PTO must be used for inclement weather and facility shutdowns (as opposed to overhead or if government closed, office closed). Management not always supportive when concerns or questions are raised.

      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.
