Pros

I worked on a pretty great team, with a lot of smart people. Work can be very rewarding and exciting. Salary is reasonable dependent on location. (Pro for low COL areas)

Cons

My department had a lot of "routine" technical manager rotations. SMEs and highly regarded individual contributors overworked. Salary is not reasonable dependent on location. (Bad pay for Metropolitan areas) Management can be inflexible and uncaring. Refuse to allow movements to other teams when requested. Often left in the dark until day of or day before of upcoming tasking. Satellite offices often are one-program shops. If the program dies, so does the office.

Pros

GD has lots of interesting projects to work on across multiple locations. If you want to make a career at GD, I don't think you would be bored because there is so much to work on. Work has been very stable over decades with no indication that that will change. Work life balance is also valued and generally very good outside of major project milestone deliveries.

Cons

Pay is competitive with defense industry but not private sector.
