Thank you for your feedback. Regarding occasional overtime, we understand that it can be a challenge for some, however there are times when working extra hours becomes necessary to meet tight deadlines for high-priority projects. Especially due to the nature of our work, people rely on our systems to help them get back to work and we must deliver, which sometimes requires a little extra push. We continually look for ways to help our employees find a healthy work-life balance and minimize these situations as much as possible. We greatly appreciate the dedication and willingness of our employees to go the extra mile and it does not go unnoticed. Thanks again for your feedback and your contributions to our sucess!

So many negatives

Pros

Not many pros in my opinion

Cons

- Worst codebase I have ever seen. It was ancient and I couldn't do much to improve it as that was not what I was supposed to be working on. Just was supposed to maintain things. - As others have said, devs are on call 24/7. - Was casually told to work weekends with no compensation my first month working there. - Extremely dated technology, I don't feel like I'm advancing in my career or improving as a developer - Management and decisions are just backwards - Meetings, training, recruiters will tell you how great the company is - They'll hire anyone. The other devs I work with are not the brightest - Different teams don't have great communication. Problems come up from this all the time. Team A can't do thing X because of some blocker under Team B's control. But thing X comes up all the time, but Team B doesn't care enough to actually improve things so that thing X stops being a problem, but instead just fixes it each time it comes up. Makes things extremely frustrating. - Internal communication system is over-complicated and slow

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that your experience with GSI hasn't met your expectations, but for that person who is out of work, they need the system to work 24/7 and that is what we do. This is not just a job, but a mission. A mission that we understand might not be for everyone. If you have any constructive ideas or specific feedback, we'd love to hear from you directly to understand how we can make a more positive impact on your working experience without negatively judging our fellow coworkers in the process. Please reach out to the HR department with your concerns and thank you again for your input.

Pros

Great job security. Company software is helpful to people.

Cons

Team leads are overworked so there is a lack of management. Senior management is out of touch with employees and is out of touch. Low pay.
