Don't Join - Highly Unstable - No proper Business strategy - Hire-Fire System - No Personal Level Connections

Propulsion systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

GDLS Name Tag for future jobs only

Cons

- Highly Unstable Job roles - They hire you saying its a 5 year contract and you can make a career out of it and then fire you down the lane without even a second thought. DO NOT JOIN THEM - Stone-age Product development. Management and Mind set still set in Old-medieval-times. Are not open to new tech improvements on CAD and technologies that can improvise production and assembly. -Decision making is so slow that they miss out on major contract deadlines. Possibly a reason why they lose contracts and orders. - People come and go and personal level connections are hardly even there.

Business Outlook

Pros

None. People with talent can’t leave this place quick enough. Stay away.

Cons

Toxic work environment. Most salaried staff are too busy watching their backs than actually contributing. HR is always looking to make an example, read “fire’’, of anyone that doesn’t tow their line. Sad.
