RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at General Dynamics Mission Systems full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Work life balance Pay was good with structured titles and position movement Every other Friday off with fair vacation
Cons
Older technologies - easy to get pigeonholed since jobs are very specific to contract Job itself wasn't very exciting. Lots of compliance and checking off things for gov contracts. Not easy being the young one. Get brunt work and not much of the exciting stuff as the seniors do. Lots of gatekeeping. If you don't have a good mentor to advocate for it's easy to get lost within the company.

"Accepted Offer but no Confirmation of start date"
I have been working at General Dynamics Mission Systems full-time
Pros
The process was simple and efficient.
Cons
I got an offer which I accepted, however, I was told the start date was contingent on the customer approval. It has been 3 weeks and I haven't heard anything. I am so confused. I just wish someone would reach out and give me more information.

Interesting hardware and good knowledgeable co-workers.

No wfh. Teams only stay together until end of project. Constantly reminded of repercussions of getting time reporting wrong.
