RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at General Dynamics Mission Systems full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
A committed, patriotic workforce.
Lots of locations and varied projects, if you’re inclined to roam.
Adopting Agile on most new projects.
9/80 schedule.
100% 401k match.Cons
Not much to speak of other than it’s a large defense contractor with a lot of rules such as timekeeping.
Advice to Management
Try to flatten out the management structure a bit. Too many layers drives too many meetings and wasted time.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at General Dynamics Mission Systems full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Regular pay, average benefits, decentralized management, some freedom of action
Cons
Few promotion opportunities, high attrition of young people, too many older engineers without ambition, frequent reorganizations as top management try to find meaning. This is in Cyber Electronic Warfare Systems (CEWS)
Advice to Management
Stop trying to be something you are not. Figure out what you are and just do it well. Attempt to identify and reward top performers.
