General Dynamics Mission Systems

Engaged employer

Has been a good place to work, but company is starting to care only about the bottom line - not the employees. - Senior Systems Engineer General Dynamics Mission Systems Employee Review

Pros

GD offers flexible hours, a decent working environment, good people to work with, work that can be exciting and challenging, decent pay, etc.

Cons

GD keeps cutting benefits, laying off people, and asking those who remain to put in even more overtime. Our division started out as Motorola Government Electronics, and it was obvious that Motorola cared about its employees. There was 2-way loyalty between the company and its employees. GD took over and that remained a while. But now, it is obvious the company has little loyalty to its employees, because they keep cutting benefits. They say they're staying 'competitive', but the benefit cuts are never ending. I'm not feeling much loyalty from them towards me, and I know many others feel the same way. If you want a company that cares about building loyalty and doing good things for its loyal employees, GD isn't it. If you just want a company that gives you a paycheck, GD's pretty good for that.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
