Pros

The work done by GD Canada (and other Defence companies) saves lives and aides the nation's defence foreces to protect that country.

Cons

GD Canada has been going through a downsizing exercise for the past 5 years and there appears to be no end in sight. Their manufacturing facility is all but closed and Engineering and Project Management capability in Calgary has been decimated to the point where it would be very difficult to perform if they won a large contract.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

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).
