Pros

Great development tools given. Free reign to do whatever I wanted with my time. Very little pressure for time tables on a day to day basis.

Cons

There was very little to no direction. The contract I was on was making little headway, so the individual team members always felt they had to grab whatever work came up, causing in-fighting within our group and alignments to form between the different subsections.

Pros

Employment for life. Good benefits. If you like tanks and such its a a boyhood dream come true. Lots of ex-military folks who used GD vehicles in recent conflicts. Evolving engineering processes. Lots of cool technology being developed.

Cons

Influence of government policies and bureacracy bog down the org. DoD does not know how to manage requirements for new vehicle programs. Huge waste of tax payer dollars. Top down hierarchy. Manufacturing is a second class citizen culturally in this company. GD is 20-30 years behind auto companies in org. cultural evolution. Still lots of fear of speaking out and identifying problems.

Pros

A billion+ $ in sales; Strong, diverse (in products) company; Flexible, 9/80 work schedule; Excellant health/medical benefits; 401(k).

Cons

Company pushes 'diversity' (among people), but is not as diverse as they say. They need to embrace domestic partner benefits and come into reality along with 'the big three', 'AmEx', and many other businesses in the area in order to stay competitive. Professional advancements are not given when they are deserved or to who deserves them. Many highly qualified, experienced people are passed over.
