General Dynamics Information Technology reviews

GD bows to any customer depend. Managers that don't work are often promoted out of the work force. Poor ethics/morals are widespread, but this is not GD management specific. The more you see, the more you'll know how messed up the system is. There are extreme levels of management detachment above middle management. These "manager managers" are sometimes so detached from the mission, employee needs, etc., that it seems like it's the worst company to work for at times... but maybe this problem is also industry-wide. Pay is a major problem if you work your way up from entry-level and stay with the company. GD wins DOD contracts because they bid low. They can bid low because they pay low. Once you get to a staff-level position, if GD won't reward you, reward yourself with increased salary by changing companies.

Where to begin. Firstly the onboarding and hiring process is the worst I have ever been through. Don't expect an offer letter and if you get one its just a brochure but does not have any important information on it. Next management is only in it for themselves and will only act when it effects them. Projects are a complete cluster and if they get completed there are more issues than it is worth. Project managers track projects on Word Docs in list form and have no clue what a projects statues is. Project managers also "forget" about customer processes, which adds complications and slows down projects. This has gotten to the point where the customers do not trust the PMs and will slow down the process just to confirm things are taken care of before the approve the projects advancement. lastly they keep job descriptions vague so they can add thing onto your plate without having to pay you more for what you are doing.
