Pros

It's very structure and your role is very well designed. If you are not a manager you can manage a 40 hour work week.

Cons

It's a bureaucratic culture will bog you down. The number of meetings I had on a weekly basis were ridiculous. I was a manager and I spent at least 30% of my time in meetings and most were not productive. GD-AIS has a policy that all stake-holders have to be in management meetings, including engineering, program management, legal, contracts, and finance. The problem with this is that everyone feels that they have to give an opinion on everything. Listening to contracts give their opinion on the financial performance or finance giving their opinon on the engineering solutions was a huge waste of time in the meetings.

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).
