Pros

9-80 schedule allows most employees to take every other day off. As with everything, there are exceptions.

Cons

The GDMS ship seems lost at sea and rudderless. The executive leadership team appears old and tired, and lacks diversity (gender is only one category, folks). The financials have been abysmal, but there are more excuses than fixes. Engineering tools are as old and tired as the leadership team. I came to GDMS at the recommendation of a friend, who's still a friend even though I'll be looking to leave this place. Look hard before deciding to land here.

General Dynamics Mission Systems Response

All employees have different experiences at every company, and we understand that not all of them may be positive. We've been building our business and our culture for over two decades and currently we have more than 12,000 employees nationwide, and a retention rate that is one of the best for our industry. That tells us that, as an employer, we're on the right track. Your experience tells us what we know - we can always improve. We continuously look for ways to make our culture more inclusive and more innovative. If you would like to discuss this, or have ideas on how to help, please contact us at GDMSCareers@gd-ms.com. Thank you for the feedback.
