Decent pay, a good amount of freedom depending on the project you're on
Cons
The company being as large as it is means there can be a lot of red tape, and the nature of the defense industry means there are a lot of regulations that need to be complied with. Pay likely better in private sector

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.
