There are 2 reasons that I don't envision myself at this company in the long run -
1. Maternity leave - I was on leave this year and while out, I was told the information from our benefits that I was given was not correct. It was a very frustrating situation but in general, the parental leave benefit is really lacking. GD offers 12-14 weeks depending on your delivery. My friends at other tech companies are out for 5-6 months.
As I am considering expanding my family, I am absolutely looking at companies that would offer more leave. It's disappointing because as a company that wants to be centered on employees, this is one area seriously lacking.
2. We recently partnered with a sister company and work closely with their employees. While there is improvement in that partnership, it feels like GD constantly got the short end of the stick. Both from a systems perspective and how we executed amongst selling teams.
