Pros

1. Flexible schedule, every other Friday off 2. Depending on project/manager, pretty flexible with remote work for now (management keeps implying this will change in the semi-near future) 3. Generally low pressure 4. Very friendly & helpful coworkers. Honestly lovely people to work with.

Cons

1. Low compensation, poor raises, no bonuses 2. Little room to explore new projects, technologies, or learn things if you get unlucky with your initial project placement. 3. My entire first year here, I wrote 6 lines of code. (Although now have wriggled my way into a more exciting and active project by luck)

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.
