Great place to start off

Pros
Good pay for an internship
Cons
Not much career advancement opportunities

Overall very positive work environment
Systems Engineer (Former Employee) - Virginia - March 26, 2021
Excellent work with good benefits and work life balance. Compensation could be better for the area but team morale and onboarding is top notch. The teams really ensure you get involved early and feel a part of the team.

Run
Production Worker (Former Employee) - Marion, VA - March 22, 2021
Horrible bosses, coworkers are disrespectful and loud. They expect to much from new workers just learning their job. Miserable place to work. If you need a job it will work till you find something else. The pay is not that great for handling the type of materials they use and for what they do. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
Pros
The day I quit
Cons
Everything

Not satisfied with the way they treat employees.
Advanced production operator (Current Employee) - Bloomington, MN - March 21, 2021
Some parts people are very good. But some management departments treat employees very badly, they always find something to attack, harass you, then make up a bad story talk with your manager that puts you under stress every day. I am not satisfied with working with them.
Pros
Benefits good
Cons
Not satisfied with the way they treat employees.

Mission Matters
Senior Engineer (Former Employee) - NC - February 13, 2021
Projects at GDMS support the defense of our country and one can take great pride in the work they do here. The people, culture and work/life balance are all great. The 9/80 schedule where you get every other Friday off is an excellent benefit.
Pros
9/80 schedule
Cons
Health insurance premiums on the high side

Great work/life balance but opportunities are only possible if management has your back.
Senior Demand Planner (Current Employee) - Bloomington, MN - February 4, 2021
GD is potentially a great place to work, but the Bloomington MN location falls short. Management does not compensate the best and brightest people who really hold things together. If you're looking for a place to jump in and get recognized for your exceptionalism, this is not the place to be.Other than that you can take PTO whenever you want and the 9/80 schedule is nice.
Pros
- 9/80 schedule and work/life balance
Cons
Not compensated for going above and beyond

Good place to work just needs a few tweaks
Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist (Former Employee) - Fairfax, VA - February 1, 2021
Job was at time stressful but overall when the week was over I felt like a part of the team. Processes did seem to change a lot and you couldn't get used to them before a new one would come out.

Great place to work, very happy here
Designer (Current Employee) - Fairfax, VA - January 28, 2021
GDMS is a great place to work. I have been amazed at the high percentage of smart, proactive, friendly people who work at this company. The organization provides meaningful work and has an emphasis on people in terms of work/life balance, engagement, empowerment, and development. Speaking for myself I have been very happy working at GDMS and often recommend it to others.

Pros
Good pay, great benefits, work/life balance
Cons
none really

Management only cares about production but not about the employees. There's a lot of overtime. There's opportunity growth for the favorited employees

Bad management and is a manipulator, does not care about health issues and ignores doctors notes.

Good work life balance
Software Engineer (Current Employee) - Calvary, AL - November 26, 2020
Avg pay, good co workers, good benefits and good work life balance. Work is okay, can get dull and projects can turn into long periods of defect fixing. Management isnt great. Lot of non technical people managing or leading technical people isnt a great idea.
Pros
Work Life Balance
Cons
Work is boring and Management

Operator
Operator (Former Employee) - Wahiawā, HI - October 11, 2020
There are more good working people than bad ones. There is a problem with the way they set up the work place. It happens decade ago but unchanged. There are many things to learn. It is a good place for stepping stone.
Pros
flexible hours
Cons
eat at your desk

Think long and hard before joining this company
Oracle Cloud Account Analyst (Former Employee) - Colorado - June 8, 2020
New software has many glitches. No reports - a lot of manual creation to get what you need. Management wanted us to hit the ground running. Be prepared to work a lot of hours. You better be quick and ultra efficient
Pros
Great benefits
Cons
Management wants you to do more then is possible for one person.

Perfect Entry Level Job
Anonymous (Former Employee) - Anonymous - May 17, 2020
Location I was at was very employee and family oriented, but cannot speak for all locations. Senior Management seemed more focused on bottom line, but local management had their employees best interests in mind. Mid level supervisors always seemed to be on a corporate climb, but there were instances of sincerity.
