      Pros

      - Opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest - Opportunity to work on solutions that are making a difference and that matter - Experience that can’t be gained in the consumer market - Good compensation and benefits (compressed work week, extra week off at Christmas, fitness facilities, Recreation Association, etc) - Continuously changing and challenging environment

      Cons

      - Military attitude vs business attitude in some employees/managers - Unionized environment for some professions (National Capital Region) - Necessary security policies that occasionally stand in the way

      Great place to work

      Pros

      Good benefits, flextime hours is a plus, good working atmosphere, and good pay.

      Cons

      Since GDC4S is a government contractor, the lack of job security is a concern.

      Continual erosion of benefits makes one wonder if it's worth it anymore

      Pros

      There's a wide variety of work available with different customers across the military and intelligence communities, plus a smattering of commercial client work. GDAIS does offer tuition reimbursement programs. There are also some great people working at GDAIS at all levels of employment and across the business.

      Cons

      GDAIS keeps cutting benefits to "remain competitive" within the industry. Yes, some of the other big defense contractors are, too, but GDAIS doesn't seem to want to be a leader except when it comes to eliminating benefits. Since I started there several years ago, we've lost a week of vacation time total (most recently losing 2 more days for 2012), lost significant 401(k) match options, have seen cutbacks in meaningful professional development & training (e.g. we're pushed strongly toward CBT), have been pushed toward high-deductible health plans (employee pushback has at least allowed us to keep the option of a PPO insurance option), etc. GDAIS is coming across as really nickel-and-diming on overhead expenses, too.
