Working at General Dynamics in Scottsdale, AZ: 59 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Scottsdale, AZ Area

"I have been working for GD for over 20 years and most of my time with the company has been great. I would recommend this company to a young man who wants to gain knowledge."

"General Dynamics is a first rate defense contractor supporting the defense of the United States and our Nato parnters. Compensation is above average and the company provides good benefits and perks. The employees are respectful and treat each other kindly."

"A very stable company developing primarily secret and above clearance projects. As such, it is currently fairly stable employment."

"Outdated environment but interesting work."

"A good place to develop your engineering skills."

"This enterprise mainly deals in contract support for military command and control systems (C4). As a contractor, things tend to get rough when there are budget cuts and you may find yourself on a dying contract with little to no warning by the company. Proceed with caution."

"I've worked for GDIT and GDC4S for a combined total of almost six years. The large organization allows for competitive employee benefits and discounts. They have been flexible with my military reserve training requirements and treated me fairly as an employee."

"I worked for GD for 7 years, but there were defense cuts and layoffs, Although I did not get laid off, the work environment suffered and I left. I regard the management of the company to be extremely poor."

"Great company to work for, learned a lot, had great mentors. I would recommend this company to anyone interested in being in government contract business. Great opportunities for career growth. Unfortunately the government business segment is down at this time and it has affected GD. Still, I would go back to GD should an opportunity arise in my new location."

"General Dynamics C4 Systems is a large military contractor. The main Scottsdale location is a large campus of older buildings. The matrix management structure does not create a solid change of responsibility and the culture reflects that. Compensation and benefits are excellent."

"I have worked at GDC4S for 7 years and it started out as a great career move for me. I advanced quickly and enjoyed the challenge of the work. The current project I am on is reducing staff and the opportunities to advance are shriveling up. I prefer to work in a company that will challenge me and give me opportunities to advance."

"General Dynamics is a good company to work for and rewards their employees for their hard work. Employee benefits are very good and salaries are in line with the industry average compensation. At this time the market is soft and the company is going through some down-sizing. No doubt they will recover and once again become a market leader. My co-workers are great to work with and are willing to help each other to succeed."

"Except for huge layoffs and small raises it was very good for me."

"I've worked with GDIT for over a year now and they have been a truly great company to work for."
