Pros

1. brand name: one of top 10 military defense contractor with federal government money funds 2. stepping stone: stay 2-3years, learn everything that you need to, and go to better place. 3. better than average people: generally good, hard workers 4. big company, multi line of buiness: higher probability of getting into different projects. 5. better than average pay market average,or possibly better based on your skills 6.

Cons

big company - so find your own way and learn whatever you can learn OR you become just one warm body to check time in and out every single day without producing any significant work..

Pros

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.
