GDIT is a decent company.

Pros

Benefits are comparable to other like companies. Much logistical support. Pleasant work environment. Overall a better company to work for than many others.

Cons

Lack of direction and overall big picture view of strategic direction. Feels like just a number sometimes. Career development depends on someone leaving or dying to advance in the ranks.

Good starting job for new grads

Pros

Parts of the company are very relaxed and offer multiple shift times that works well for people across the spectrum.

Cons

Some people have been in the same position for many years making it very difficult for a new person to come into a team.

Lots of possibilities - but depends on your project

Pros

Awesome benefits, awesome opportunities, economies of scale, great reachback support, part of a large mission, outstanding reputation, lots of possibilities for professional development and career development that comes with a company this size. If you have a good PM you will be well taken care of - GDIT seems to "take care of its own" and is generally a great work/life balance place where emphasis is on working smarter, not harder.

Cons

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.
