      I worked at General Dynamics Mission Systems full-time

      Pros

      Excellent employee benefits, annual raises, fair promotions, and great employee support programs (gym reimbursement, pretax childcare deductions, continued education, conferences).

      Cons

      Workload expectations were sometimes unrealistic. Talent aquisition was not as experienced as needed.

      Advice to Management

      Promote less unexperienced individuals from within, take advantage of experienced job shopper contracts, hire more experienced/educated employees that fit the job requirements.

      I have been working at General Dynamics Mission Systems full-time

      Pros

      Pay is average, benefits are good.

      Cons

      There are no specifications to follow and the work includes getting thrown at a machine with little to no guidance. Engineering is sub par and at many times I question the safety of the workplace. No one takes their job seriously because "we just make shoes" so maintenance is usually done partially.

      Advice to Management

      This place needs new engineers. It's a billion dollar company ran like a 3rd world start up.

      Pros

      Flexible, decent benefits, lateral movement is possible to explore what you are interested in. If you show you are interested, they will see it and you will be given opportunities.

      Cons

      I don’t see many cons. Benefits could be a little better. Really it’s a great company. Will be interesting to see how it looks once the rollover of military defense comes.

      Advice to Management

      None

      • Interesting and challenging work
      • Lots of career development programs and ways to move up or across the company

      Cons

      It’s a fast-paced environment so it may not suit someone who is uncomfortable with change.

      Advice to Management

      Keep up the great work! Continue to regularly meet with your employees to understand their needs, recognize their achievements and solicit their ideas.
