General Dynamics Information Technology reviews

People don't leave companies, they leave managers. CSRA now GDIT is a good company. CSRA has a major management problem--and an even bigger diversity problem. Managers too often focusing on managing up to senior management, not down to employees. They've lost touch with their employees needs. There is little to no focus on growth, opportunity, employee development, or even basic things, like health and wellbeing. There is salary disparity. Too often policies and guidelines around performance, merit increases and growth opportunities are intentionally kept unwritten so the managers can apply them to benefit their "favorites." Every employee knows who the favorites are and if asked, they will name the same people. It's blatant behavior. Almost patronage. Minority employees face subtle to over discriminatory behaviors and face constant prejudice and bias, no matter how highly qualified you are, no matter how advanced your degrees. There is no clear mechanism to report it in any way or to any one that employees will feel they will be believed and heard. No one is so overt to drop the N word, they just treat you that way in small ways, every single day. You'll learn to maneuver within this environment but you shouldn't have to. There is a clear, unpenetrable "old boys" network at the leadership level and until there is more diversity among management, this problem cannot be fixed and likely won't be addressed in any meaningful way. I've seen some changes under Amy's leadership that strike me as positive but so much more is needed--and faster. This company has lost of a lot of good people at the worker level and there is another wave coming. Many people would've left the company but stayed only for the hope of change under GDIT. Many have stopped holding their breath. I cannot recommend this company (on the CSRA side) to any person of color at this time, regardless of your experience, skills and degrees. You think that will change perceptions. It won't. Find a company that has a clear and real focus on diversity and inclusion. If that changes in any significant way I will come back amend this statement. If you're not a person of color, you will have every opportunity to thrive and grow. This may be the place for you,

After the merger with CSRA occurred, some employees are being laid off in rapid succession with no reason other than teams "not having space." From my vantage point, there has been a lack of transparency and honesty since the deal was signed in early April. The organization has become a toxic environment due in part to this.
