Leadership is often delusional about competition for contracts.

Engineering manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting work on pretty cool products... Security and advantages of a big company... Global reach and high sales numbers...

Cons

When you actually win the work. That often leave you feeling bereft of identity. That breed constant demand for growth and a crippling fear of innovation (which generally contradict each other at some point)

Great people on team, need military background to get ahead, lots of take-charge generals - almost no collaboration.

Project management specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Mostly laid back atmosphere, easy going. Great benefits, can accrue vacation days up to several months. Week between Christmas and New Years is paid leave.

Cons

Management likes to upgrade status reports they don't like, so work revolves around "ghost" target. Management is disconnected and sometimes appear to be creating conflict rather than resolving it. Unclear lines of responsibility with managers since there is overlap so work gets going from one manager and stopped by another. Staff in key positions mostly don't have right skill set. One of those jobs to kill time until retirement !

Business Outlook

Pros

GDLS has good core of individual that are extremely knowledgable about their products. There is a strong commitment to the Soldiers and Marines that are supported.

Cons

There appeared that promotions came about by tenure and not by acheivement. There was often decision/guidence from senoir management that support end of year bonus and not the long term growth of the company
