General Dynamics Bath Iron Works reviews

Culture is terrible. Employees are unhappy. People are only there for the paycheck. Most would leave if other opportunities in the area existed. Core hours. Antiquated processes/systems. Management lacks true leadership. Brilliant people who would make great leaders refuse to take a management roles and choose to stay technical due to the terrible managerial systems/people in place.
