- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
- Good health care benefits - Fairly generous PTO - Clear salary ranges - Quarterly check-ins to ensure you're on track to meet goals - Clear system for promotions and raises (ask your manager and/or check the hub)
Cons
- Time tracking to 6 minutes, everything needs a charge code. - Promotions are limited to one level per year. If you start at the bottom this doesn't work that well. - Must fill out goals and tasks throughout the year for a promotion or decent raise. Not everyone knows this. - People who were rated "strong" given low raises (below inflation).

- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
I always felt like I was compensated fairly for my work and there were seldom demands for overtime. PTO and other benefits were good and in line with what I'd expect for the industry. Work also felt very reliable; seemed you could often just move between projects there as they reached their conclusion so job security was nice.
Cons
Development practices are (in some cases by necessity) pretty old fashioned. This extends to management and corporate policies too. Hourly time tracking was required which was tedious and annoying for a salaried position. There was no real flexibility from a 40 hour work week.

- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Desire across the company to improve at all levels and angles
Cons
Sometimes takes a mountain's worth of effort to change or improve something when it should take a mustard seed worth of effort

- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Most people are very friendly and easy to work with. There are great perks like 9/80 and flex schedules. It is pretty stable so losing jobs is not a fear. You will transferred to a new project if one looses funding.
Cons
Choice of project is limited due to staffing requirements. Software tools and packages are limited due to security requirements. It is also annoying to charge time.

- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Impeccable work-life balance. Work always felt reasonable and I liked my coworkers. Overall a pleasant place to work.
Cons
If you're not into the ethics of the defense industry then work might not feel good. Culture feels a little old-man white-bread. There isn't a lot of room for a high-performing worker to move up quickly in the company.

- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Worked with a group of great folks always ready to work to get the job done. Good benefits, and supportive and positive management team.

- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Innovative solutions for DOD customers. People genuinely believe in the mission and want to make the customer successful. Balanced between tenured, mid career and new hire workforce.
Cons
Insular culture that does not reach to the industry for best practices. Lack of visionary leadership at the senior leadership level. A lot of strong managers but not a lot of true leaders. Organization relies on a handful of technical leaders to establish process, execution and development. This strains those few critical employees and does not create a strong network around them to support them.
General Dynamics Mission Systems Response
Managing Director
Thanks for your review and your thoughts. Developing mission-critical systems that help keep people safe is what we do and as you know, our team takes this seriously. But, we also know we have areas for improvement and we have committed to building the skills of each employee, including our leaders by offering a number of professional development programs.
