General Dynamics Mission Systems reviews

No new work coming in. Future of company is being thrown away in favor of meeting this year's financial numbers so management gets their bonuses. As such, decisions are made solely on how it will affect the quarters or years financial numbers, not the future revenue or health of the company down the road. Unethical practices in running the business and dealing with customers. Several VPs are truly incompentent and are universally disliked by the employees, but no one has the guts to fire them. Good ole' boy club at the expense of hiring the right people for the job.

It's a depressing place to work. Contract workers are treated better than regular employees -- they usually get advance notice before their contract is done. Employees have been getting that tap on the shoulder and march out the door with no notice and barely time to gether up a few personal belongings since 2011. Contract workers also get paid for the overtime needed to make up for the poor planning and generally bad project management, unlike regular staff who often work long hours for free, especially after getting added work from laid-off co-workers piled onto their workload. Favoritism by management is rampant, so if you kiss up to your manager, your workload will be a lot easier to manage. Benefits have been cut to nearly nothing, except a so-so 401K match and high deductible health insurance -- even paid time off was cut by 40 hours to max out corporate profit and executive bonusses.
