Pros

Awesome benefits, awesome opportunities, economies of scale, great reachback support, part of a large mission, outstanding reputation, lots of possibilities for professional development and career development that comes with a company this size. If you have a good PM you will be well taken care of - GDIT seems to "take care of its own" and is generally a great work/life balance place where emphasis is on working smarter, not harder.

Cons

Due to its size, the many different projects and programs tend to operate quasi-independently - a bad experience at one project doesn't necessarily reflect on GDIT as a whole, but that particular project. That being said - you can be "just a number" given the size of the company. Recent acquisitions mean that some leaders come from "body shop" companies - they seem to be more interested in winning and keeping contracts rather than their employees. Beware of cliquishness in middle management layers - a lot of random manager types floating around meddling with no clear job description.

Pros

The company has your back; it shows how much it cares for its employees. Personnel moves are done in a way that makes sense, and they often put the right person in the right job and make changes quickly when necessary.

Cons

As contractors, you are bound to what the customer asks. And there is not much control over it, since you are contractually bound to support that customer. Even then, GDIT corporate makes sure to reach a good middle ground when changes are requested.

Pros

Good pay and flexible telecommute options

Cons

Extremely basic benefit offerings. There also seems to be a very wide chasm between GDIT internal (management/corporate) and front-line staff who are focused on the contract.
