Pros

The pay was very good in the past, especially because NATO contractors outside the USA can avoid most income taxes. However, the pay has come down in recent years. If you want to live overseas, this can be a great way to do that.

Cons

GDIT's business is to win US government contracts and staff them. Employees are assets which are used to staff the contracts. The company doesn't care about its people, but that isn't unusual. If you accept a job overseas, the company will pay your moving expenses. If you quit the job before the contract ends (typically 3 years), you may need to pay to move your things back to the USA. That could cost a lot. Working with the US government and military is very bureaucratic, very political, and very chaotic. This is almost entirely the fault of the US government and military. What might take a small company 6 months to do will take a contractor like GDIT 2 or 3 years with many project changes and even cancellations and restarts. It's a frustrating environment for someone who wants to accomplish something.

Pros

Great management, very professional, task oriented, responsive.

Cons

Contract work has natural turbulence. When the company loses a bid it means people are out of a job.

Pros

Initial Management was good, however went downhill fast

Cons

I was onboarded by an amazing manager, but they are a contracting company. They made horrible decisions to hire the wrong people at the wrong contract and got killed for it. I wish they didn't do this
