General Dynamics Employee

"Some excellent co-workers, but the company has no direction and is not focused on business development in a disciplined way, so it drifts from opportunity to opportunity. The organization also fails to learn from past mistakes. They seem to believe they have superior engineering disciplines from back in the GTE days, but have not updated them and do not really follow them. As a result, management is personality driven, and ignores data showing them that programs are in trouble until very late."

Technical Manager

"GD Santa Clara has the most positive family atmosphere of any company I've worked at. My fellow employees work exceedingly well as a team and enjoy each other professionally and personally. It is a unique personality environment. Unfortunately, business development and vision have fallen in recent years and are wholly concentrated on a few limited programs. Management relies on heroes to get the job done instead of proper systems engineering up front."
