Cons

I never had a bad experience.

Pros

I loved the working hours. The communication was great. The pay was comparable. The flexibility was awesome.

Cons

As this was a contractor position with the US Navy, you never knew if the contract was going to be renewed until the results were final.

Pros

Easy to use benefits website. Robust company swag store

Cons

Leadership does not have your back. Be sure to maintain your own relationship with the client, if your leadership is tighter than you, rethink your job/role. To survive get on your leadership's page, do not innovate, find out what they want and tell it to them. Have resume ready, keep other jobs inside GDIT and outside very warm. Employee Complaint program does not have your interests at heart; I filed 3 with substantial documentation to prove point, all sided with leadership. White Male, do not expect promotions unless you have multimillion $ contracts at the ready to book. Do not slip on schedule, if you have a legit reason, bury it and blame someone else. Employee retention/mobility is a sham, it is 99% dependent on the networking you have done on your own. If you enter the EM program, be ready to self relocate and take a pay cut by default.

Pros

A dedicated HR dept. to assist in finding a new job within GDIT These people help with; making a GDIT standard resume, navigating the internal Job website, contacting the hiring agents to push your name for consideration, give info in addition to what the job description gives. But, most of all, I found that I actually had someone helping me who wanted to me to succeed in finding a new position. The support proved to be very valuable.

Cons

GDIT needs to spend more time on interviewing, training, and evaluating their Managers. On the Tech side, the manager is often the techlead, or SME of the group and they have no people skills. This should not be a surprise as many tech people throw themselves into their work because they do not want to deal with people.

Pros

- flexible work schedule - expedited hiring process - good internal mobility program

Cons

- lower than average salaries - large company feel - most jobs focused around the DC and Tampa area

Pros

Good pay, plenty of resources for self-improvement, helped obtain security clearance

Cons

Poor communication from middle management

Pros

Good work environment, good benefits, and good work life balance. Supported family member through chemo and company was very supportive. This can also depend on the team, however. I have friends whose teams are not supportive. Like most places, it is what you make of it.

Cons

Big proponent of the 'good old boys' club. Leans toward a 'rockstar' mentality, i.e there's no patience for someone trying to learn a new skill. Internal mobility is a joke. No more than a feel good department. You're really on your own if your contract ends. HR is not supportive of employment issues. Raise a fuss about your treatment and you will find yourself looking for another job.

Pros

Pay and per diem is the only good thing

Cons

Discrimination Doesn’t like to teach new people

Pros

Better pay for the area and opportunity to grow in the company

Cons

Low off time and missing a federal holiday

Pros

As every contract it depends on senior leadership but my time with the company was great. My concerns were taken seriously, I was promoted and rewarded for the work I did.

Cons

No cons really. Some of the government people I worked with were god awful but that’s to be expected
