Pros

Good team work from the rank and file Cutting edge technology - communications systems Challenging work Real cutting edge technology - primarily a communications house for Defense / Government. The rank and file (workers) work together well. They look out for one another. The work is challenging and important to U.S. Army - primary customer.

Cons

Excessive processes Punitive - failure is not tolerated Management is not people friendly Poor business ethics The company views processes as a religion, no flexibility - excessive. There is low tolerance to failure (can be punitive). This may be due to large numbers of layoffs, but I think it is the culture. Management is very much detached from the workers. You are a body. You execute you are fine. But don't step out of the box - will not be rewarded. GDC4S is highly competitive, winner take all outfit, not into sharing the pie with other companies.

Pros

Excellent co-workers and supervisors. Enjoyed the projects I was working on during the first two years. Opportunity to work on military projects. Exposure to cutting edge technologies. Opportunities to get a wide array of experience in a short periods.

Cons

Can be moved around from project to project very quickly. At one point I worked on 5 projects in 6 months each using different technologies. Can become jack of all trades master of none. Frequently expected to work weekends with no bonuses for extra work.
