Pros

You get every other Friday off.

Cons

This is a company that is stagnant under the weight of its internal business processes. Upper management is oblivious to the lack of quality middle management. Your weeks are mostly filled with useless meetings, leaving you little time to get your work done. Ask someone for help with a problem or challenge and they'll refer you to someone else. If your company ever gets bought by GDMS, immediately seek employment elsewhere. Everything they say about "no changes" or "We want to learn how you do things" is a complete lie.

Thank you for sharing what you encountered. While we have processes in place, being this large of an organization working on advanced technologies, things will take time. We hope you have great success on your current and feature endeavors.

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.
