      Pros

      Working for large Defense Contractor in DC Metro area. Opportunity to support more than one large Government program in a team environment.

      Cons

      Poor work/family life balance. PTO is shared for sick, personal and vacation. PTO must be used for inclement weather and facility shutdowns (as opposed to overhead or if government closed, office closed). Management not always supportive when concerns or questions are raised.

      Pros

      General Dynamics has some of the best employees I've ever worked with. Highly intelligent and competent in many areas of information technology. The environment is very relaxed and management is very approachable. Your salary compensation is excellent compared to other companies that deal in the same services and the company is always looking to assist you in growing through educational reimbursements and giving you the time to work towards your own professional development. I have found friends and family while working for General Dynamics and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to work with great technology while helping the warfighter.

      Cons

      As in any contract job there is always the possibility of being deployed into hostile environments, however at General Dynamics, you don't have to do more than a 4 month deployment at any given time. That is far superior to a lot of other companies that require you to do a year overseas and you may possibly have a job when you return stateside. I think that sets General Dynamics apart and is the only downside I see to the company.

      Advancement and project mobility limited.

      Pros

      GDAIS creates good products and has some exciting programs. They are process driven and produce better quality than other places I have worked. Although it varies depending on your project and manager, generally they place high value on work-life balance. Flexible schedule allowing you to take every other Friday off is excellent. Generally nice environment to work - nice building and friendly people. Pay is competative.

      Cons

      Promotions/advancement hard to come by for more senior technical people. Company is pushing to make its workforce younger. Information needed to accomplish tasking is often compartmentalized and difficult to obtain. Mobility allowing you to work on other programs is quite limited. Recognition for sometimes herculean efforts is often not there. Had to threaten to quit to get promoted with a pay raise.
