Pros

Employee perks are solid for the state of the defense industry. People are personable and easy to work with. Employees enjoy a 9/80 work week with every other friday off (not furloughed). Management is easily accessible to hear your concerns and give advice.

Cons

Mid level management capability can be diverse. Management spots are usually filled with people who have done their time and not always wanted to be in management or strove to prepare themselves for management. Also, the hiring process is almost completely up to first level managers. Bad apples can slip through the cracks depending on the manager's ability to read people.

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.
