Pros

I don't think there are any good reasons to work for GDSATCOM any more.

Cons

As others have mentioned the management is the largest problem. All of management acts as if their hands are tied and they have no ability to make any kind of change. To follow that up they have the Nazi IT department from Hades. Don't expect to get anything out of them in a timely manner - they'll just dump more and more paperwork on you so your request will be buried.

Pros

9/80 Schedule with every other Friday off. Good compensation for Berkshire County, MA where the cost of living is quite low compared to the NYC or Boston areas.

Cons

This is a tough place to make it if you're a new employee as training is quite limited and consists of nothing more than reviewing PowerPoint slides and reading technical manuals. Other team members are generally too busy with their own work to help new hires learn the ropes. In fact, they would sometimes become annoyed if I asked them questions, so it's definitely not the friendliest environment I've ever been in. Benefits are terrible with only 2 high deductible health insurance plans to choose from. Work environment is lousy as it's a noisy open plan office with lots of people walking around and chatting, which made it hard to concentrate. There is also lots of office politics here too between managers and between different team members. Also be prepared to occasionally work on weekends and overnights too if you get stuck with a lousy shift in the lab for testing, which can happen especially if the lab is busy and fully booked.
