Pros

Very Generous Pay and Benefits Big Corporation - IT, Payments, Travel, etc. were all fairly agreaable Easy work if you're into that. Didn't have to use my brain once

Cons

Absolutely disgusting disconnect between management and workers. Management sees a need to get more people for delayed programs, and simply hires as many bodies as they can. No value on their workers or their workers career goals. They just use their workers to fill in on any random work that is needed. Worst onboarding I have ever seen. I, along with many coworkers, quite literally had zero work for our first few months, and then seemingly random work from there on.

We are working to continuously improve our onboarding experience. It would be insightful to hear more details on what could be improved and what worked, so that we can grow from there. If you are willing to share specifics, please reach out to us at GDMSCareers@gd-ms.com. Thank you.

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.
