General Dynamics Mission Systems reviews

I was forced to work 6-day weeks but get paid for only 5. You must submit your time card precise to 30-min increments at the end of every day. Interesting project work is centered in Massachusetts and Arizona - employees at other sites are treated as internal contract labor. Goal is to bill the customer (typically the federal government) for as many hours as possible and maximize the conversion of awarded contracts into payments. This is contrary to engineers' goals of operating efficiently and innovatively.

Lack of corporate culture or fit within the GDAIS organization. No career advancement or growth opportunities, trivial or non-existent raises (0%-2%) over the last 5 years, very difficult to get promoted, poor morale among employees, 'check the box' meaningless performance reviews. Management does not seem to care about developing and retaining younger employees. Many employees have left the company over the past few years but that hasn't seemed to change things. Local management is aware of issues but powerless to enact change.
