Business outlook
Pros
Employment for life. Good benefits. If you like tanks and such its a a boyhood dream come true. Lots of ex-military folks who used GD vehicles in recent conflicts. Evolving engineering processes. Lots of cool technology being developed.
Cons
Influence of government policies and bureacracy bog down the org. DoD does not know how to manage requirements for new vehicle programs. Huge waste of tax payer dollars. Top down hierarchy. Manufacturing is a second class citizen culturally in this company. GD is 20-30 years behind auto companies in org. cultural evolution. Still lots of fear of speaking out and identifying problems.
