Pros
GDLS truly cares about the warfighter
Cons
Slow to change processes and tools
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
great company with great products
Cons
fast paced and lots of work
- Former Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Low stress, easy to maintain a good life-work balance. GDLS is a placed you go to collect a good paycheck and raise a family.
Cons
I worked there for 10+ years and left to acquire new skills and continue my professional growth. The company culture is improving but still pretty down. Department heads focus on empire building and push bloat into contract bids to maintain them. Nepotism is rampant, they only hire management from within and all managers are afraid to shake the boat. Their engineering design practices and processes, especially for Abrams is really behind. At the time I left 40% of their manhours were funded by Abrams Sustainment and they've been handed this chunk of money for 25+ years; it is a fine example of corporate welfare in the defense industry. At this point they are probably too large to fail, but I really hope other competitors (Oshkosh, Rheinmetall, etc) contain to take business away.

Self motivated, self managed individual with integrity apply within
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The benefits are great. Plenty of paid holidays, vacation, health insurance premiums are good. Some potential for travel and TDY sometimes from 1 to 4 weeks per year depending on unit training calendar. The work is not hard but since you are the only one there to do it all the responsibility of starting and completing it falls on you and only you. If anything goes wrong or right its because of you so the role requires much responsibility, independence, maturity and time management.
Cons
The position continues to evolve and more documentation is required to justify the position which is important yet tedious. If you spend 20 min trying to install something and you are sifting through a bolt bin and ultimately install and torque a bolt, it needs to be documented. You are responsible for making time at the end of the day to do all your documentation for every job performed that day.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
important company working in defense industry
Cons
unorganized and outdated. Working with the government isn't great either
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Has a Great working environment
Cons
Waves of work because of contracts
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
It is a laid back job.
Cons
Management is bad and no transparency
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Every other Friday off, challenging work, good experience, good people you work with.
Cons
Pay, HR doesn't take into consideration any prior experience unless its 5+ years. Promotions run very slow, very political, not much room for advancement, HR controls everything.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good benefits, decent management, and goals I can get behind.
Cons
Can be layoffs due to the nature and volatility of the defense world and its budgets. All Anniston, Alabama locations are considered to be a "low budget facilities". Not the best pay for engineering, but decent for the area.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Job stability. You'll literally never get fired no matter how bad you are unless you are actively attacking upper management. It's a joke how some people can continue to maintain jobs when they consistently perform so poorly.
Cons
New leadership does not understand schedules or how to pace the software development. God forbid the customer should indicate the slightest frustration with the timetable of the project you are on - you'll be expected to work OT for the foreseeable future (which is a flat $25/hour for an extra kick to the teeth). Also extremely petty (they remove reviews here they don't like). Impossible to get a pay raise outside of HR's fixed brackets - which are the same regardless of whether you are the reason the project worked at all, or the guy who can't code a Fizz Bizz. The software "solutions" we are supposed to implement are just kludges. Software has no ability to innovate apart from what Systems tells them to do, and they haven't the slightest idea how the software works.
