General Dynamics - IT Employer Reviews

They make it really hard to balance personal life and work life

There are lots of knowledeable coworkers and various projects that allow one to learn many different things if one is allowed to transfer between the projects.

Upper Management is terrible. You cannot expect a long term career at JBLM due to if the work is not there the Management surely will also be missing. A very stressful and uneventful 8 years I have put up with.... it's only a paycheck, you are not allowed to take any pride in the company or your work.

I've been employed there for three and half years. I've been able to pay my bills.

It is a call center you speak to people for eight hours.

They got the hierchy thing down. I have learned to much as I promoted up. The managers that I had are great and fair. Great co-workers; really brilliant and smart folks.

Big company that allows for a good benefits package and training.

Eerily similar to Office Space. "And here's something else, Bob: I have eight different bosses right now." Replace 8 with 5 and you get the picture.

Working environment is pleasant and up lifting. I look forward to engage with new challenges everyday.

First company I worked that was will to pay their employees what they were worth.

Great company. Great support taking DAWIA classes. I have learned so much.

GDIT is a large division of General Dynamics that bids for US government contracts to conduct information technology tasks for classified government programs.
-There is no shortage of work with GDIT, opportunities abound. A typical work day on a government contract would include checking system logs, assisting government and military personnel, and – more... troubleshooting downed computer equipment.
-I learned a great deal about politics, information systems, and military leadership's expectations and negative opinion of government contractors.
-Management in my division was great at first. Many of the individuals leading my team wanted to get us trained and put out on jobs. However, over time, senior leadership brought in new people and I felt that the new direction was a ploy for the company to maximize profits at the expense of morale and good people.
-Some teams in GDIT were very close, however, I was constantly traveling to new locations and was always a temp that had a departure date and tickets to another location. I did experience camaraderie in Belgium, however, that was short lived because my VISA expired and I had to return to the US.
-The hardest part of working with the field service division in GDIT is having to travel 90% of the year.
-I enjoyed traveling Europe. That was a great experience I will always cherish. – less

Great place to work, helpful people, relaxed yet productive atmosphere.

I started as a help desk I and then I was promoted to Outreach Training and Communication and I'm off the phones more and I'm updating our webpages with changes, adds, and deletions. I get an hour for lunch to workout and my manager is great.

Each day you never know what is in store for you. You definitely learn a lot.

Good company with great benefits! The only thing is that they pay you pretty low for your experience and credentials

GDIT is a good place to work. A typical day was showing up, developing software, going to lunch, then developing software some more.

Great company overall. Work with them in Afghanistan. Co-workers are great, the team here couldn't be anymore knowledgeable on network administration and design.

Great company to work for, and to gain experience from. Employee incentives received on regular occasions.
