The worst professional experience of my career - Senior Staff Systems Engineer General Dynamics Mission Systems Employee Review

Pros

Substantial system engineering projects offering a large quantity of opportunity.

Cons

Creative approaches to problem solving highly discouraged. Development activities nearly always restricted to modification of COTS solely by a system engineering approach. Component level design very weak. Management comprehension of product technology is strictly at a system level, lacking any possible component-level detail. Extraordinary lack of integrity across all levels of management. Periodic review by management of direct reports consisently descend to a collection of false statements lacking any factual basis or detail whatsoever.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
