Pros

Good pay, decent benefits which declined over the years.

Cons

Way too much management. The old Motorola brotherhood system exists here which is not good for non-Motorolans. Fantastic work without drama goes unrecognized. Everything has to be a crisis. Real engineers are continually laid off while management goes unscathed. Company has gone from 6000 to 2000 since late 2009. Not winning new work.

We’re glad to hear that you are happy with the benefits you receive at GDC4S. GDC4S employs approximately 8,000 employees nationally and internationally. We are a large, defense contracting company and do our best to ensure that all of our employees feel valued for the hard work that we know they all do. Regarding new work for the company, we are seeking new business opportunities in a few areas, for example in public safety, and sometimes cannot share the details of new, young programs until we are more certain of their viability. Please continue to read ConnectingPoint for daily updates on our current and upcoming programs, and thank you for your review!

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
