General Dynamics Land Systems Software Engineer reviews

Lots of leadership turnover/churn, not sure if anybody had a real plan; Too much "this is how we have always done things", when the contract dictated how something should be done: there is simply too much of the old culture hanging around and causes decision making to either make the wrong decision or simply never have a decision made and continue discussions week in, and week out, no progress.

Years of mismanagement have made the GDLS software department a nightmare to work for. Pay starts low, they rarely negotiate and are very reluctant to give raises. Almost no coherent thought has been put into good software development environments or practices. High turnover in the last few years has crippled the software dept and management is unwilling to allocate resources to fixing the problems.
