Pros

As GDIT Senior Network Engineer on DOD contracts, you will likely work on cutting edge technology and act as the DOD's subject matter expert. There is little substitute for working with the best technology. GDIT is a company where you can work your way up from an entry-level technician to Engineering or even Senior Management staff positions. Work hard and you can be rewarded in the right environment. GDIT has positions worldwide, so opportunities abound. If you don't like one site/state/country, try another.

Cons

GD bows to any customer depend. Managers that don't work are often promoted out of the work force. Poor ethics/morals are widespread, but this is not GD management specific. The more you see, the more you'll know how messed up the system is. There are extreme levels of management detachment above middle management. These "manager managers" are sometimes so detached from the mission, employee needs, etc., that it seems like it's the worst company to work for at times... but maybe this problem is also industry-wide. Pay is a major problem if you work your way up from entry-level and stay with the company. GD wins DOD contracts because they bid low. They can bid low because they pay low. Once you get to a staff-level position, if GD won't reward you, reward yourself with increased salary by changing companies.

Pros

Its a paycheck and there are some good employees

Cons

Where to begin. Firstly the onboarding and hiring process is the worst I have ever been through. Don't expect an offer letter and if you get one its just a brochure but does not have any important information on it. Next management is only in it for themselves and will only act when it effects them. Projects are a complete cluster and if they get completed there are more issues than it is worth. Project managers track projects on Word Docs in list form and have no clue what a projects statues is. Project managers also "forget" about customer processes, which adds complications and slows down projects. This has gotten to the point where the customers do not trust the PMs and will slow down the process just to confirm things are taken care of before the approve the projects advancement. lastly they keep job descriptions vague so they can add thing onto your plate without having to pay you more for what you are doing.

Pros

Direct management and coworkers were all wonderful. Great flexibility for work schedules and great benefits

Cons

Senior leaders are out of touch and have no real understanding of project requirements or needs, contract bidding is a mess and most all funding goes to bonuses of senior leaders. Staffing is always at bare minimum, max raises are laughable. Also upsetting how they handled layoffs. They had us all sign a 30 layoff notice but told us we would be rehired when the next contract started and it was only procedural. This was a huge lie and upsetting because we could have actually used this time to start looking for new employment. This really affected our families and also the reputation of GDIT.
