      Pros

      Coworkers and compensation. The best people I've ever worked with are in GD-AIS Gilbert. They are, in general, very good engineers, but more importantly they are a very enjoyable group to be part of. The compensation is very good, but that is changing. Even though we're told the company is doing well, there will be no merit raises in 2009 and the 401(k) company matching percentage will be lowered. Another plus is that it still has a small-company feel from when it was privately owned.

      Cons

      Questionable decisions by youthful, inexperienced executives. All I hear are buzzwords coming from them with no firm statements about what is going on. Middle management is better, but they don't get much information from above them.

      Pros

      GD-MS seems to win *ALOT* of proposals and contracts. There is always the next big thing at GD-MS.

      Cons

      Contractors 411: Typically, contracts terminated with no notice. Today will be your last day. Please wrap up your work. It was a very low-rate contract too. Made alot of sacrifices to be on this program. Culture resembled a human wood-chipper ala FARGO. Many senior engineers leaving en-mass. I was asked to take over the role of the engineer who left just prior to my arrival. I called it: I will be next. Good experience once in your life to go thru the human wood-chipper. Toughens you up. However, GD-MS is a great example of how it is that legacy aerospace companies are dying rapidly and startups will be the future in aerospace.
