Business Outlook

Pros

Working at General Dynamics provides great financial stability. It is a very dependable environment and I have known far more people that move to a different position within the company instead of being laid off.

Cons

The organization is so large that many beaureaucratic elements have crept in. For example, ordering hardware or software requisite for projects is a nightmare because of the contracts with third-party companies who manage these orders, require a huge overhead, and complicates what should be a streamlined process.
