General Dynamics Information Technology reviews

Due to its size, the many different projects and programs tend to operate quasi-independently - a bad experience at one project doesn't necessarily reflect on GDIT as a whole, but that particular project. That being said - you can be "just a number" given the size of the company. Recent acquisitions mean that some leaders come from "body shop" companies - they seem to be more interested in winning and keeping contracts rather than their employees. Beware of cliquishness in middle management layers - a lot of random manager types floating around meddling with no clear job description.

GD bows to any customer depend. Managers that don't work are often promoted out of the work force. Poor ethics/morals are widespread, but this is not GD management specific. The more you see, the more you'll know how messed up the system is. There are extreme levels of management detachment above middle management. These "manager managers" are sometimes so detached from the mission, employee needs, etc., that it seems like it's the worst company to work for at times... but maybe this problem is also industry-wide. Pay is a major problem if you work your way up from entry-level and stay with the company. GD wins DOD contracts because they bid low. They can bid low because they pay low. Once you get to a staff-level position, if GD won't reward you, reward yourself with increased salary by changing companies.
