General Dynamics Mission Systems reviews

Corporate nonsense, time charging, cannot charge more than 2 hours a week indirectly.

-Pitiful amount of PTO and paid holidays for new hires, even for the defense industry. Meanwhile, senior employees go on week-long vacations on a whim. -Pitiful raises. -No bonuses or profit-sharing. -Timecard system often encourages micromanaging. -Minimal training and mentorship. -People are allergic to communication, both inside and outside engineering. -Work itself is monotonous. -Volatile contracts means you will be shifted around a lot, or even be "encouraged" to take PTO when contracts suddenly run dry. -Next to no standard engineering practices or processes create a messy work environment, every team does everything differently. The fact that leadership gets shuffled around constantly due to the lack of staffing makes this even worse. -Witnessed multiple instances of sexist and ableist attitudes from leadership. -"Good ol' boys" club occupies most leadership positions, very little room for new talent and perspectives to rise up the ranks. -Company won't invest in meaningfully improving anything since it cuts into their bottom line, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.
