Pros

Job stability. You'll literally never get fired no matter how bad you are unless you are actively attacking upper management. It's a joke how some people can continue to maintain jobs when they consistently perform so poorly.

Cons

New leadership does not understand schedules or how to pace the software development. God forbid the customer should indicate the slightest frustration with the timetable of the project you are on - you'll be expected to work OT for the foreseeable future (which is a flat $25/hour for an extra kick to the teeth). Also extremely petty (they remove reviews here they don't like). Impossible to get a pay raise outside of HR's fixed brackets - which are the same regardless of whether you are the reason the project worked at all, or the guy who can't code a Fizz Bizz. The software "solutions" we are supposed to implement are just kludges. Software has no ability to innovate apart from what Systems tells them to do, and they haven't the slightest idea how the software works.

Pros

Nice people, good pay and benefits

Cons

No upward growth, company is dying. If you are older and making decent money they will let you let you go to reduce payroll. They only want entry level, low paid employees.

Pros

The salary is decent with a 3-4% annual merit increase The 9/80 work schedule is the only reason I am here (the off-Fridays are a huge benefit) 401k match dollar for dollar on GD stock Medical benefits are excellent Knowing that what we do saves American lives in the battle field promotes a sense of pride. We produce very interesting products

Cons

If it was not for the off-Fridays, I would leave the company Too many layers of Management Management disconnected with the daily product development activity. No support from upper management when design or product issues arise Very little interaction between upper management and the work force Do not offer any technical training for personnel development. Inefficient organization and are content with milking DoD contracts High performing employees are taken advantage of Now work / life balance, Grade band promotions are almost non-existent Over-time pay is capped at $25/hr (no incentive to stay late or work weekends) Occasionally - management mandates mandatory OT Whenever there is a down turn in the defense industry, lay-offs start at the bottom and management are not affected.
