Is this your company?

GDLS is a broken company filled with corruption, nepotism, and many unqualified people with zero social skills. - Senior Systems Engineer General Dynamics Land Systems Employee Review

Pros

9/80 schedule was good. One of the larger defense contractors.

Cons

Very top heavy company. Too many managers and too many levels of managers. Everyone throws each other under the bus to make themselves look better. Lots of racists and bigots with no idea about the modern corporate world. Diversity training needs to be dramatically increased. 1950's culture with too many older people still working there (average workforce age is 42, much higher than the national average).

Pros

Both pay and benefits were good.

Cons

Both Management and the Union need to be overhauled. Union has too many dead beets working there and too many stupid rules to boot. Kinda like a Good ol' boys theme. Management is clueless, they like to fly by the seat of their pants. When things go wrong ( and that's usually always) they are quick to put the blame on the Employee. A lot of cut throats there, you have to watch your back constantly. Stay away if possible!!!
