      Relatively stable company, though falling short in benefits, compensation, recognition

      Pros

      Great opportunities to work with experts in the industry and a great customer/contractor relationship.

      Cons

      Recognition of success is hard to come by, promotions are entirely self-driven in that one must post to new, higher paying jobs since the impetus for promotion does not come from managers. Disturbing trend of trying to pressure employees to give more and more without any recognition or compensation adjustments.

      Business going down the tubes along with Defense budget

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some really great technical folks working in the trenches of the projects.

      Cons

      Too many managers pushing papers and processes. Top management has little regard for those doing the actual work. Benefits are less and less each year. Top 10% (primarily managers) of workforce belongs to a secret 'bonus club' which earns large bonuses each year. The other 90% gets no bonus or perhaps only an occasional slice of pizza for lunch or turkey lunch and handshake during the holidays.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review; we greatly appreciate your feedback and more than ten years of work with our company. GDC4S is proud of its extensive benefits package, in addition to the promotional opportunities and recognition program, REWARDS, that we have in place for all employees. As a large company, with approximately 8,000 employees in the U.S. and internationally, we work hard to ensure that all of our employees receive recognition for their dedication. We are forwarding your comments to senior management so that they may address these concerns and improve the process for current and future employees.

      Pros

      Good pay, decent benefits which declined over the years.

      Cons

      Way too much management. The old Motorola brotherhood system exists here which is not good for non-Motorolans. Fantastic work without drama goes unrecognized. Everything has to be a crisis. Real engineers are continually laid off while management goes unscathed. Company has gone from 6000 to 2000 since late 2009. Not winning new work.

      We’re glad to hear that you are happy with the benefits you receive at GDC4S. GDC4S employs approximately 8,000 employees nationally and internationally. We are a large, defense contracting company and do our best to ensure that all of our employees feel valued for the hard work that we know they all do. Regarding new work for the company, we are seeking new business opportunities in a few areas, for example in public safety, and sometimes cannot share the details of new, young programs until we are more certain of their viability. Please continue to read ConnectingPoint for daily updates on our current and upcoming programs, and thank you for your review!
