Pros

Great laid-back atmosphere, flexible hours, non-competitive workplace so co-workers really try to help you out, General Dynamics will help subsidize your master's degree, opportunity for travel to exotic locations (Australia, England, Spain) for people with experience in a certain capacity, ability to switch departments keeps the workplace as fresh and interesting as you make it, enough work going around that you would eventually find something you like to do

Cons

Old buildings, loss of ownership of any of the work you do, endless feedback cycles, unrealistic deadlines, there are no statute of limitations (you can be asked the reasoning behind something you did 10 years ago), the time it takes to complete a task is extremely long since everyone has input, no motivation to excel since job promotions are time based not performance based, unclear expectations for what needs to be done for task

Pros

This is a last resort job if you can’t find anything else

Cons

The processes and systems in place to get the job done is dismal. There is no official training for the job role. If you make suggestions and try to be helpful you are seen as a threat by management. There is rarely any cross functional communication. It feels like they want things to take a long time and be wrong so that they can charge the govt. more money. (Bc every task you do will have a charge number). Most long timers at the company don’t care about the work being done inefficiently either, bc they have a reason for overtime. Very weird corporate politics / favoritism. (I have never seen it as bad as it is here). Parking is terrible at every location.
