Pros

The reason why it is two stars but not one is that workers can enjoy one work-from-home day each week. Apart from this benefit, I can't think of anymore, honestly...

Cons

Many.... very bad (and unfair) management, super high turnover rate, poor salary, disgusting toilets (never been clean), NO hot water... They have bad appraisal system, they don't like to promote people. Workers decide to leave the company right from the very first day joining the company... just too many cons... GD only gives you a job not a career... sad but true...

Pros

Absolutely nothing good about it

Cons

This company is totally unethical and dishonest and the CEO is a sociopath. The whole culture is one of bullying and harassment (of every single type) and they have no interest in changing it as it is driven from the top. You will be lied to throughout recruitment and for as long as you work there. The goalposts will be moved multiple times daily and you will never get a straight answer or clear instructions, and if you do they will be changed 180 the next day. The facilities and buildings are disgusting and unhygienic and I'm certain would never pass a real health and safety audit. Two types of people work there - smart, well educated people who have been lied to and duped into working there and will regret it for the rest of there lives and total halfwits who have no idea what they are doing... Or just don't care. Turnover is insanely high and I have yet to meet anyone who has anything good to say about it. Anyone who comes in who actually seems decent and like they could actually make things better and like they might have some ethics either gets the boot or leaves as soon as they can. The senior managers and execs etc are required to write 5 star glowing reviews on glass door or they get the boot so don't believe any of the glowing reviews. The products are terrible and filled with made up data and stats and ex clients have nothing good to say - and not many current ones do either. There is no clear strategy or any kind improvement mindset other than a total focus on sales and hitting ludicrously high targets. If I had to guess I would say there is some kind of pump and dump plan to push the share price as high as possible, sell out for millions and leave whoever buys it with egg on their face and a lemon of a company that looks nothing like the company they thought they were buying. But thats just my guess. No-one actual knows what the plan, or any plan, is. Stay the hell away from this place.
