General Dynamics Mission Systems reviews

To many meetings, no room for growth, pay could be better, poor benefits for a company of this size( went to a smaller company with better pay and benefits . I saved over $300.00 a month for health insurance with a lower deductible) and it keeps getting worse. It’s hard to keep young people there with fresh ideas. This is very much a Good old boys company. The management at GDMS does not know how to manage people. All of my friends that have left and myself included, we have went on to better company's that have given us better tools to do our jobs, benefits, pay and much more. The one question we all ask, why did I want so long to leave.

Non-existent planning. Poor leadership. More interested in protecting self interest rather than developing good solutions. Middle management spends most of its' time developing excuses, rather than solutions. Say they are Agile - they are not. Marginal benefits. Management rules by innuendo and gossip ' I heard this from someone about you,' Interesting approach to employee relations. New Review process not taken seriously by middle management. Sr. Management is out of the loop. Salary increases are based on middle-management's discretion. Favoritism is key. Also if you aren't one of the 'boys' or part of the culture (e.g. a newbie to the organization) there are consequences. Middle management reacts to issues - no objectivity - lack of attention to details derails many initiatives. Decisions are made without any feedback from those that will have to implement the strategy. Individuals placed in leadership roles have little or no experience. Others are rewarded with titles and positions not based on ability. The organization is able to survive because of its' relationship with the DOD/Politics. Not an organization that really has to worry too much about P/L.
