Pros

The employees are delightful, hardworking and generally really wonderful to each other.

Cons

Management treats employees like McDonald's employees - constantly checking over shoulders, refusing remote work, consistently demanding hours be in daily when there is no reason for them to be. Management is abrasive at best. No opportunity for advancement, zero thought given to developers role in company, no bonus structure (but you'll be penalized if you can't get hours in on time!), no structure on how projects are run or organized. The entire company is reactionary, nothing is thought of in advance. Work/life balance isn't even discussed, it's so far outside of the realm of thinking and culture in the company. Seems to be the norm, in order to bill what is expected, to work from the time you wake up until you go to bed, and rinse and repeat all week long. Clients are horrible to employees and are never cut from the business. No change order process makes clients ask for unreasonable changes in unreasonable timeline and budget areas.

Pros

GSD is an amazing company that is growing at an exceptional pace. I've been working here for a year now and have helped build and define the culture since starting here. At first, I was thrown off by the reviews from 2016 but after hearing the story of what happened I took the leap of faith and joined the team and haven't looked back. Don't believe the reviews. This company is a great place to work. GSD offers great benefits, competitive pay, career advancement, and treats you with dignity and respect.

Cons

At this point I have no cons.

Pros

Work with some great clients. Your work has actual impact so the work is VERY rewarding. GSD has great benefits. The company has 30 year goals set out. The company is growing rapidly - the proof is in the sales. It's a relatively young company but has a solid structure in place plus all the best software and tools to track your performance and metrics. The company is metrics driven so easy to track your performance and takes out subjectivity. Lack of politics. A lot more job satisfaction and driven young team than working at a big corporate firm where there's tedious work to and a certain "amount of time" you have to put in before climbing up the ladder. At GSD you can work from home or anywhere as long as your get your work done so no micromanagement. They trust their employees unless you give them a reason not to.

Cons

The job is technical so you are drinking from a fire hose for a few months when you start -- so be ready for that but you will learn tremendously.
