Q&A With General Dynamics Mission Systems Employees

The Human Resources department is a group of amazing individuals that work collaboratively and innovatively for the good of the company. They are outstanding.

We have an energetic team that deliver. Work life balance is encouraged. We have flextime and every other Friday off

The HR team is the best HR Team I have ever worked with.

The HR team at GD is extremely talented, diverse, innovative and engaged. We have a great mix of very experienced individuals with newer talent. We work as a cohesive team

The Leadership Team at General Dynamics Mission Systems is amazing. They are genuine, engaged with employees and the business, and are just great servant leaders. The difference between them and other companies I have worked with is substantial. They live the GD values and walk the talk.

We have outstanding leadership across the board

Lots of older people who are sure their way is the right way. There's a bit of a new generation coming in, but a lot are leaving.

GDMS has a small company "family-life" feel with the benefits of that come with a large corporation. We have a leadership team that knows our employees names, how we contribute to the bottom-line, and cares about us as individuals. That is unusual in a large corporation. This organization is very much "your family comes first", although people are very dedicated to getting the job done for our customers and for each other on the team. Employees are devoted to each other and the mission of the company. We make the world safer for you and your families. It is a great technology company, very innovative, great place to work.

General Dynamics Mission Systems offers a wide variety of flexible work arrangements for employees depending upon their position and customer requirements. Many of our positions are based at customer sites, at "field" locations with our military or government customers, and we have home based, employees who telecommute. We provide flexible work options and work schedules to promote family friendly / work balance life style.

Very few exist, and they're usually only made available for people that are moving away from the office and wish to tele-work.

This is a tight knit "family" type technical, knowledge worker environment. You are rewarded based upon your skill, knowledge and abilities

General Dynamics is a well run corporation with integrity, transparency and ethics. The people here are dedicated to our nation.

We have a relaxed, family-like, atmosphere here. We drive hard, work hard, but are very "professionally casual" in dress and demeanor. My advice would be to come prepared with knowledge about our company, products and financial performance. In addition, be able to share why the candidate wants to work at GDMS, and how their skills will make them the best candidate for the job. The candidate should also prepare for Knowledge, Skills, Abilities and Experience questions regarding their competencies and how it relates to the business.

Anywhere from a 1/2 hour to a full day.

They ask very standard questions.

direct manager, matrixed leaders, and peers.

Behavioral and job related, role and responsibility (KSAE) interview questions.

Very similar - behavioral and skill based. Team interviews are common.

General Dynamics Mission Systems has a "casual business attire" dress code. However, most candidates wear a more traditional business attire (slightly dressed up) approach for interviews.

It was great! I got hired.

We have a relaxed, casual work environment where your work and contribution are the more important than "who you know" or what you are wearing.

The challenging work, technically talented employees and the huge contribution we all make to the world through our products, systems and services. We make the world safer for you!

We have a Pay for Performance culture in which we reward and recognize our employees' performance and contributions.
