Pros

Great place and people to work for.

Cons

Need to promote from within. GDIT has some qualified personnel within their organzation that is not getting looked at for better position. It is sad!

Pros

Good teamwork within a contract. Still feels like a growing company. Benefits are pretty good. Work environment is comfortable. Better than being unemployed.

Cons

Working for the gov't involves lots(!) of red tape and more documentation than I thought possible. Don't get me wrong, I understand the importance of documentation but what they require is just over the top. For such a large company they are extremely cheap about spending money on IT. Funding for basic IT needs gets charged to contracts rather than overhead which leads to a tenuous situation when the contract ends regarding the disposition of hardware/software. Pay is a little on the low side. The level of IT knowledge seems to be on the lower side. I don't consider myself a guru on anything but I had to explain simple things like VLANs to my office several times (and I'm still not sure they 'get it').

Pros

Benefits, time off, good coffee, decent office space, some sections have decent leadership, some leaders do not micro-manage, dedicated worker bees

Cons

Too much senior leadership "deadwood", no mentor program, poor business development leads to lay offs, twice yearly lay offs for the past two years
