      No Training, The Pitts, Good Initial Pay.

      Pros

      The Initial Pay was good for entry level work.

      Cons

      All roads lead to Pittsfield, MA, & Pittsfield, MA is just that -- the pits. Think of Boston, invert it, and you get close to the idea. Constant travel was a bum too. Little to no recognition for Job Well Done; fubars are well advertised. Management doesn't listen; "our survey says employees love less benefits, so here are the latest benefit cuts!". There's also no training. Bad.

      Good engineers, but questionable leadership.

      Senior communications systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Coworkers and compensation. The best people I've ever worked with are in GD-AIS Gilbert. They are, in general, very good engineers, but more importantly they are a very enjoyable group to be part of. The compensation is very good, but that is changing. Even though we're told the company is doing well, there will be no merit raises in 2009 and the 401(k) company matching percentage will be lowered. Another plus is that it still has a small-company feel from when it was privately owned.

      Cons

      Questionable decisions by youthful, inexperienced executives. All I hear are buzzwords coming from them with no firm statements about what is going on. Middle management is better, but they don't get much information from above them.

      Big Beltway Bandit -- But No Real Complaints

      Senior information security engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stability. Big company, very stable, lots of work in many career fields and nationwide locations. Pretty good benefits (medical, vision, etc.) with reasonable vacation time, at least once you've been here a while (early hires have lousy vacation for a few years).

      Cons

      Anonymity. Big company, kind of bureaucratic, trying too hard to fit everyone into the same mold (whether you're a bolt-fitter building tanks or a software engineer building satellites). Not quite as good for new hires (see comments on vacation time). When working (full-time) at a customer site, you're very much "out of sight, out of mind," with connections back to the company tenuous, at best.
