Pros

- Supportive management, they hear you out and play to your strengths - Interesting work and variety of projects - Learning/growth is encouraged and enabled

Cons

- It's DoD work, so time charging is strict and a big pain. Big culture shock if coming from private industry/start-ups - Often told to "find more work" yourself, lots of cases where because you're UX you need to defend your existence on every program you start

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.
