Excellent Place to Work

Pros

Great benefits (medical, dental, vision, optional life). Company pays 100% of the premiums for STD, LTD, life insurance, etc. Employees are given the opportunity to work on many different types of projects and are never boxed into a certain role. Competitive salaries, bonus opportunity, PTO, flexible work schedules for many positions. Management is very approachable and always has an open-door policy. The staff is very helpful and always willing to make your life easier. The engineers, technicians, and software developers are all excellent resources for any problem solving issues when you need to brainstorm. Several locations in Virginia Beach, Philly, DC and the ability to work remotely for many positions gives you several options if you want to relocate.

Cons

Communication with employees from upper management could be a little better regarding comings and goings and project updates to all employees.

Not wonderful

Pros

Good place to go if your are just starting out. The flex time is nice, and the benefits are somewhat decent.

Cons

Communication does not exist in this place, and apparently, neither do raises. Significantly underpaid and overworked. Any overtime is considered straight and not time and a half. Unclear direction, lack of care for the employee.

Good Company, Great Benefits

Anonymous employee

Pros

Generous benefits, decent pay, flexible schedule, good people. GBS being a small engineering firm is lean, that requires its employees to be versatile and willing to take on new/unfamiliar challenges. This offers great opportunities for those willing to step up and accept.

Cons

There is no employee review process which in turn means no scheduled increase in compensation. Communication between management and employees could be better. Just like any contracting company there is always the chance for layoffs.
