General Dynamics Mission Systems Program Manager reviews

The company has gone too far in workforce reduction, to the point that their ability to execute on existing contracts is jeopardized. A few absolutely critical people have been "released" by managers who were put into their positions recently and really didn't know their people or who the strongest performers were; hence they laid off resources critical to on-going work. The "survivors" are now truly over-worked. Acquisitions over the past several years have almost all turned out to have been major mistakes. But, there has been almost no accountability for these mistakes.

I have felt for the last three years that General Dynamics has been working to shutter the plant, and they have not been aggressively trying to go after after new business and contracts. They no longer care about the people. They have diminished pensions drastically. They do not care about their employees, all they care about is their bottom line. I have always said, never get between GD and a dollar, you will never win. General Dynamics has been a profitable business and to see the lack of compassion is disgusting. Keep the people who work and lose the ones that sit in their offices all day doing nothing. It has become a paper mill and not a working environment.
