Pros

A dedicated HR dept. to assist in finding a new job within GDIT These people help with; making a GDIT standard resume, navigating the internal Job website, contacting the hiring agents to push your name for consideration, give info in addition to what the job description gives. But, most of all, I found that I actually had someone helping me who wanted to me to succeed in finding a new position. The support proved to be very valuable.

Cons

GDIT needs to spend more time on interviewing, training, and evaluating their Managers. On the Tech side, the manager is often the techlead, or SME of the group and they have no people skills. This should not be a surprise as many tech people throw themselves into their work because they do not want to deal with people.

Pros

I met amazing colleagues at GDIT and the quality of staff was quite high.

Cons

We were some of the lowest paid government contractors in the DC area. Many analysts left 65K a year jobs at GDIT to make 90K+ a year at competitors' contracts.

Pros

The company is large, and therefore stable. They rarely ever lay anyone off, in part because attrition is quite high, so they're always looking to fill open roles. Benefits are mediocre. Family leave is embarassingly bad (1 week off for a birthing mother, just got updated to 2 weeks I believe).

Cons

The corporate ethos is "Honesty, Transparency, Alignment, Trust", but there is very little transparency or honesty from senior leadership. High level jobs are handed out like cotton candy at a fair, with zero opportunity for competition from anyone outside of the "in crowd". Also, you can expect your career in every function of the business to have a definitive ceiling if you don't already receive a pension for your prior military service. The corollary is also true - if you have no industry experience, but just retired from the military, they will give you opportunities that you 100% are not qualified to do, without competition from people who 100% are qualified. Also, they pay well below industry and location averages.
