As a long term employee of General Dynamics, I feel I am in a position to give them a very positive and honest review. Through strong leadership, GDC has overcome many obstacles over the years to enable itself to thrive in the marketplace. Being recognized as a grandfather in hi-tech, it has built its reputation on quality products and delivery excellence.
They – more... have an outstanding employee support program that includes not only the financial benefits of their employees but the mental and physical attributes of their employees.
GDC has honorably earned 5 stars – less

Everything about it was fun and enjoyable. The only flaw was that this was a contracted position. Plus the contractors worked more efficiently then the full time workers.

Family oriented job that made you feel good about working there. Option to work overseas after you put in a year work stateside.

Working for General Dynamics Electric Boat was a great opportunity.

With every company there is the good and the bad but overall it is a very good organization to be a part of. My co-workers were all very professional and pleasant to be around. There was a strong push for perfection within our group and well as Lombardi once said, "It is impossible – more... to achieve perfection, but in striving for perfection you will gain excellence." And I can honestly say in my group we had achieved excellence.

I was sad to leave the company for personal reasons, and if anyone has the opportunity to gain employment there you have a great opportunity to advance not just in a career but as a person as well. – less

I went here while I was in college. I learned a lot towards my degree and was able to apply what I learned in the real world.

Employees are great, trainers are great and the weight it has on a resume is a plus. Very professional company though it has a big brother feel to it. There is a lot of understanding for the rules that are made, but some go to far. No coffee machines, nothing at your desk. It feels like an extremely strict catholic private school.

A typical day begins with me reviewing each e-mail thread from the prior day. The project managers work in different parts of the country and will continue dialog via e-mail at various times of the night. Next, I review all expenditures in a program called MPM, the homegrown budgeting tool used to satisfy the FAR. Next, I export the data into an excel – more... format and begin variance analysis for reporting to project managers. Next, I will report any overruns & under-runs to the VP of accounting with forecasting suggestions. The hardest part of the job was working with both the planning and accrual tools which did not talk to each other. – less

Pay was decent, benefits were excellent. The NET manager was a little off but he was eventually removed.

Take calls from Medicare beneficiaries about their Medicare health insurance. I have learned a great deal of patience while working for this company. They have an excellent management team. I would say the hardest part of my job is giving someone information they don't want to hear about their coverage or claim. The most enjoyable part is that I'm providing – more... peace of mind to beneficiaries letting them know 1-800-Medicare is here to help them. – less

Worked in a satelite group in Pittsburgh where the main group was in Westminster. Good challenging wirk. Good people to work with.

Very exciting place to work. Exposure to advanced technology hardware.

I'm used to working 12 hours a day 7 days a week from 6am to 7 pm. I have a degree in business management and dont mind traveling. i have worked overseas since 2009

I spent over ten years working for the company before being hired on as a full time employee. The technologies being developed there made the work interesting and challenging. My fellow employees were knowledgeable and fun to work with.

The most enjoyable of the job is the challenge that each day. I'm constantly finding new ways to improve what I bring to the table and how i grow with the company

The engineers and program level people at GD are outstanding. Management allows a few poorly performing program consume resources that would have allowed other program to succeed. This has created a crisis in customer relations and employee morale.

A lot of pride is taken into the work.
Vacation time is 2 weeks for the first 10 years.
however, OT is paid for engineering.
Overall a decent company to work for
