Engaged employer

Recent staffing and business changes have made me re-evaluate my career direction - Senior Software Engineer General Dynamics Mission Systems Employee Review

Pros

Company really "got it" when Covid hit, pivoting to a sensible work from home stance with lots of flexibility for hybrid/mixed work environments.

Cons

Recent staffing adjustments and corporate restructurings, especially with their decision to move back to waterfall development from their first (rather weak truthfully) attempt at Agile (GD is/was a practitioner of SAFe [Scaled Agile Framwork for Engineering]) have really made me question my decision as a relatively recent engineering graduate to join GD. Going "back to waterfall" from Agile does not sound like a career trajectory I want to be associated with.

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).
