General Dynamics Information Technology reviews

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.

Managers who won't approve travel expenses till several weeks after the trip. Managers who will only approve FAA pay (upfront expenses for 30 days) till after the 30 days are up. Some project managers are extreme at micro-managing. Very poor at communicating what is happening. Plan on not knowing if you are going to travel till the day before. Plan on explaining every expense. For gas purchases while on the road, you don't need to submit a copy of the receipt. However, when entering that info into expense form...you must type a note explaining what, where, when, and why. Lets see...American Express says it is gas purchased at Exxon in Atlanta. So your note would read. While working on the such and such project in Atlanta, Georgia, my car was running low on gasoline and I had to purchase more. For purchase of food at lunch...there would be a receipt for 9.00 at Richie's Deli....so your explanation would read....on jan 3, 2009, I ate lunch at Richie's Deli in Atlanta, Georgia while working on such and such project for GDIT. I think you get the picture.
