Decent place to work, good reputation.

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salary, ability to transfer to another project if you have good skills, better than most contracting companies when it comes to placing their people when they lose coverage.

Cons

There's nothing really special about this company. Most employees are contractors and deal with the customer. Unless you're "wowing" the customer on a regular basis, you should consider yourself expendable.

GD....a great company with very few of the problems most major corporations face; overall....2 thumbs up!

Project manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Stability and opportunities for advancement. GD is a rock solid company that isn't going anywhere any time soon, even in this unstable market and the uncertainty of this new administration. They continue to win contracts every day. They also offer a comprehensive benefits package that is as good as it gets out there. The management does communicate with employees a lot more than other companies do, and you don't feel so alone when working for the customer.

Cons

GD has a reputation of paying on the lower end of the acceptable range. They target enlisted military separating the military because they know that they can get away with paying less, especially for many of the positions that they need to fill. There is a history of not rewarding the employees, but that isn't an organizational-wide problem, only in different areas. That is normal though. The good side is that changes have been made and are starting to be seen at lower levels.

General Dynamics - good for a stable career

Finance specialist

Business Outlook

Pros

If you enjoy working for the government but without really working for the government, General Dynamics might be the place for you. Since they are a big military contractor, they operate much like a government-run institution would. The culture is somewhat run by "the way we've always done it" which appeals to some people for it's stability. Many people who work there have been working there for 15-20 years.

Cons

General Dynamics is slowly downgrading their employee benefits. The health plans were getting worse and worse and employee "perks" were all but done away with by the time I left.
