Pros

The only pro left at GD is the compensation. They pay very well compared to the competition. It used to be a great place to work almost like a second family, no more.

Cons

Totally lost its direction. No investment in the future despite what they say. Laid off hundreds and hundreds only for the sake of making EBIT to target. Now they are forcing out the senior managers that built the business. This company used to be a great place to work; now it is a sweat shop. Benefits are cut every year; but they still pay well. Morale is terrible and there in no confidence in the management.

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.
