Pros

Nice facilities Slightly better than average benefits Some interesting projects to work on if you're connected to the right people

Cons

A stunning lack of women in Sr. Management positions, despite the fact that the CEO is female. Morale was absolutely in the dumps. Shortsighted, clueless management, advancement seems to be based on who you know. There is no future for anyone outside the old boy's club. No pay raises, benefits being cut every year, and management justifies these cutbacks by citing surveys that show they are "competitive" with their DoD contracting counterparts. They only strive to be average.

Pros

GD-MS seems to win *ALOT* of proposals and contracts. There is always the next big thing at GD-MS.

Cons

Contractors 411: Typically, contracts terminated with no notice. Today will be your last day. Please wrap up your work. It was a very low-rate contract too. Made alot of sacrifices to be on this program. Culture resembled a human wood-chipper ala FARGO. Many senior engineers leaving en-mass. I was asked to take over the role of the engineer who left just prior to my arrival. I called it: I will be next. Good experience once in your life to go thru the human wood-chipper. Toughens you up. However, GD-MS is a great example of how it is that legacy aerospace companies are dying rapidly and startups will be the future in aerospace.
