      Recent staffing and business changes have made me re-evaluate my career direction

      Pros

      Company really "got it" when Covid hit, pivoting to a sensible work from home stance with lots of flexibility for hybrid/mixed work environments.

      Cons

      Recent staffing adjustments and corporate restructurings, especially with their decision to move back to waterfall development from their first (rather weak truthfully) attempt at Agile (GD is/was a practitioner of SAFe [Scaled Agile Framwork for Engineering]) have really made me question my decision as a relatively recent engineering graduate to join GD. Going "back to waterfall" from Agile does not sound like a career trajectory I want to be associated with.

      One of the best companies in Ottawa

      Pros

      Lots of opportunity to grow at a fast pace. The company is doing very well and the morale is high. The culture is open and informal and it is concentrating on the right things to keep improving the culture.

      Cons

      At times the US parent company can add bureaucracy that doesn't add much value.

      Pros

      Freedom in work, technically challenging, plenty of opportunities to seize - but you need to do it yourself and try to avoid asking permission (or someone will try to kill your good idea). Fun colleagues.

      Cons

      Suffers from engineering 'in-breeding' and senior technical staff has tunnel vision when it comes to adopting new methods and technologies (i.e. doesn't like change). Glass ceiling for promotions and 'trial' periods for internal promotions are never ending. Vision is on short term ROI and leads to poor technical decisions, and sometimes poor business decisions.
