The Senior Leadership is outstanding and truly care about the employees. This is evidenced on a daily basis throughout the company. I feel comfortable, and am encouraged to reach out to leadership for my career development, to ask for help, and for feedback. I have been with the company for 23 years now. I left for 4 years and found "the grass wasn't greener" elsewhere. GD holds leadership to our values and ethical behavior. We do what we say we are going to do for our employees and our customers. The people are the brightest, most dedicated talent anywhere! This is shown in our high rehire rate! We have low turnover, promote through Pay for Performance, and have a ton of autonomy to do great things. Our benefits are outstanding, pay is great, and worklife balance is unmatched.
Cons
If you don't want to love your job go somewhere else. you will be held accountable, given authority, and supported. But you can't be a slacker - it will show. We are a government contractor, so there is a lot of compliance and procedures to follow.

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).
