Pros

Technical accomplishments of the engineering staff are highly impressive Staff interacts well with each other. Highly motivated staff. Able to hire talented engineering graduates.

Cons

Complete focus on financial achievements Highly degreed, highly creative engineers are not treasured as an asset. Senior management seems to think they are easily replaceable, even though their roles require 20-30 years of focused experience. Senior management provide lip service to employee all hands meetings. Focus on high-level corporate financial achievements. Do not wish to discuss local matters, which matter most to the employees Unwilling to invest a reasonable amount of money for pursuing proposals. Wants big dollar programs only and not willing to invest in planting seeds to reap benefit in the future.

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.
