Pros

Great engineering team. Benefits are ok. Work is challenging. Customer is for the most part reasonable. Support staff is always helpful.

Cons

Management team is average always pushing for high risk schedules. Treat engineers like pawns moved around in a game board. Unreasonable expectations on amount a time to spent on the job. Unbalanced live-work. Very slow to hire needed staff. No sense of community. Have been cutting down on the benefits steadily in recent years. Ver poor annual pay increases.

Pros

GD has lots of interesting projects to work on across multiple locations. If you want to make a career at GD, I don't think you would be bored because there is so much to work on. Work has been very stable over decades with no indication that that will change. Work life balance is also valued and generally very good outside of major project milestone deliveries.

Cons

Pay is competitive with defense industry but not private sector.
