Pros

Reasonable benefits, salary was respectable

Cons

As other reviews have noted, GDIT does a very poor job of placing employees in other positions once an employee goes on overhead. Recruiters who are supposed to be working with you to find another position sit on their butts and don't lift a finger to help. Direct requests for assistance with positions are either ignored or pawned off to some other department

Pros

Easy work Decent benefits (though not great) Casual Dress Lax on hours Some people are great (but are overshadowed by the losers)

Cons

Low Salary Poor Morale (Everyone seems to be looking for another job probably due to above item) Raise/promotions are terrible No vetting of employees (coworkers sometimes are completely incompetent) Bureaucracy halts progress to a standstill Performance reviews suck (based on arbitrary goals rather than how much you contribute to the company) Some communication problems between managers and employees

Pros

Overall, GDIT has a reputable presence in the IT arena. The salary is on the high end of market yet the benefits are average. - 401(k) matching (fully vested on 1st day of employment) - The management team cares about the employees on a personal level.

Cons

- The medical benefits package is changing towards a HSA (healthcare savings account) model. - There is no overhead hence no job security. When your contract ends or lacks funding, it is up to you to find your next gig. You are hired for a contract...you are not hired into the company. - Contracts tend to be a collection of "warm bodies". The "warm bodies" approach coupled with the lack of tough technical screenings allows for a collection of mediocre developers. Consultants need not apply! - Education reimbursement and training is based upon the funds available for your project. - General leave is one broad category (vacation, sick days, family 'urgencies', etc). - The organizational chart is very bland and lacks diversity.
