General Dynamics Mission Systems reviews

Management fostered an environment of finger-pointing within projects. If something went wrong during testing and integration, change requests were written against you whether the problem was with your part or not. Middle management doesn't care to get to know the workers under them. Layoffs occur every few months, but in small numbers so that local media never reported on it. Morale was low because everyone heard of a new layoff occurring every other month. GD will rush to hire new employees fresh out of school to replace the more experienced employees they laid off just a few weeks before. Top management only cares about the bottom line. In their quarterly earnings email. Employees were not only shown how GDC4 was doing in their benchmarks, but they also highlighted what projects were being single out for blame.

Pay freeze, limited promotions Limited to no investment in future technologies in favor of meeting short-term numbers. Senior management is slow to remove poor team leads Process for the sake of process Poor long term vision Reactionary leadership, not anticipatory leadership.
