      Currest state of affairs at GDC4S

      Pros

      Management is very accomadating for work/life balance. The salary is above average, especially in these economic times. Some of the projects are very interesting, not to be found in any other industry.

      Cons

      Management puts more weight on retaliation than anything else. The interview process (at most sites) is very lightweight, not a proper gateway for the best braintrust. Only the site near CMU has had an exemption on a Google-like stringent interview process.

      Decent perks, crazy business practices

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some of the great things about GDC is the compressed work week. Although the days are long, it can buy you an extra day off every two weeks which is invaluable during the summer months. The benefits are so-so along with the pay, but everything is negotiable there and if you use the right manipulative tactics there, you can bully HR around in the good times.

      Cons

      The place is incredibly mismanaged. When projects die people are left to their own devices to grovel for work elsewhere and it leaves you feel like you are playing musical chairs. Individuals are allowed to move around regardless of the state of the project they are leaving. Often there is no accountability to work done in the past. Senior Management seems to be all over the spectrum with an inability to manage large programs, understand the customer or lead a team.
