Employee - Principal / Managing Director / General Manager

Patriotic and everyone works as a team.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Being treated fairly was far too dependent on who you knew versus your work.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Recommend removing the Vice Presidents from failed business units rather than moving them into different positions

Employee - Analyst / Associate

9/80 work schedule is nice.

Employee - Analyst / Associate

Low morale, poor leadership, poor management actively act in manners contrary to good business methods.

Employee - Analyst / Associate

All levels of management needs to be replaced and at least 25% of the employees, to improve morale, build a positive corporate culture, and be a company that could profit outside of the Defense Industry.

Employee - Analyst / Associate

I worked at GD in 2003 for about 6 - 8 months. The atmosphere was very rigid then. The environment was not friendly.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

The company has a great understanding of the business process, but no understanding of the customer.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Weak culture at best, self-centered on self preservation for the most part. No understanding nor practice of true leadership or quality management.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Changes in the management process and the senior leadership is needed. Too top heavy, no structured focus, absolutely no understanding of the end line customer (the war fighter of the US Marine Corps and US Army). No real focus on quality or quality output of product.

Employee - Director

There was a definite East Coast bias to personal decisions.

Employee - Director

There is a need for General Dynamics to be willing to take more risk in doing development projects. Also more funds need to be allocated to IRAD and proposals.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Communications should be improved and personalized, rather than just a numbered employee. Policies are followed when convenient. There should be a greater focus with HR to keep quality employees, rather than terminating when contracts are not renewed.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

The executive leadership for the company was strong and communicated strategic goals. However, there was a gap in communication between executives and those doing the work. The culture is dependent upon the work site, and management at that site. In my experience, the culture was great when there was not a management footprint, but when management became present, they created impedements under the policy of GDIT.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

The name is awesome and great to place on a resume. The most important thing to know about the company is that you cannot evaluate it company-wide, but rather based upon the work-site.

Employee - Director

I would recommend the company if you are an engineer. The part of GD that I worked for did not treat manager/senior mgr/directors as valued members unless they were in very traditional roles. When the chips were down and the cuts were tight, female managers were cut despite being equally or better qualified. The CEO is a woman but it does not extend downward

Employee - Director

Although I was laid off in 2013, I have stayed in touch with many current employees. To a person, they no longer enjoy the work they do but stay for the money. They do pay well.

Employee - Director

It was (and remains) an industry leader.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Watch out. They shake your hand while stabbing you in the back.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

There is a lack of honesty and moral values.
