Pros

GD Satcom is a good, recognizable name. They are connected to the larger Company which can be a good thing if the economy sees a lull. There are many negative reviews here but there has been a large shift in focus recently that has caused many good things to be possible.

Cons

Unfortunately being under the larger Company also means you must abide by any directive that comes down. And if the Company as a whole does not do as well as planned financially, the lower company group gets hit harder.

Pros

Interesting projects and flexible work hours.

Cons

Long product cycles. Employees often don't see a project to delivery before being reassigned. It is very rare an employee can actually participate the the refinement of a product leveraging lessons learned in the previous iteration. As a defense contractor with spending on such projects to likely become less and less and the coming years, opportunities for growth are dwindling.

Pros

Great company to work for, Benefits are good, lots of good people that work for the company. Nice facilities at all locations

Cons

No loyalty to employees. Management does not care for employees well beings or future. Lack of movement within the company to grow. Need to change out senior level management in security department because they have lost sight of operations and staff. Increase in demands with little raises, always questioning roles even though management has no idea what is going on in day to day operations. Should not have outsourced security with horrible company, should have done their research a little more, maybe more staff would have stayed.
