Pros

A perfect example for work-life balance. The company went through great lengths to keep the employees happy and satisfied. Lunch-time and after-work soccer, softball, hockey.

Cons

Communication between middle-level management and employees was non-existent, at least on the projects I worked on. Upper-level management did not communicate with the workers on the ground and were constantly lied to by their underlings. If someone spoke their mind, they got their hand slapped.

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.
