Glassdoor reviews

I've been working 10-12 hour days just to keep up. Executive leadership is a little cliquey and their style of communication can be condescending, even if the workforce is marginally younger. Problems tend to be ignored even when employees are calling them out. Senior management tend to have the only say.

Before you sign up to work here, let's remember that this is a Series H company. Series H. There is a reason for that. Look up the tech companies that have successfully gone public, and look at their series beforehand. Headlines scream that GD is a $1BN company about to go public, but valuation says nothing about effectiveness of the business. And a great mission isn't enough. Valuation is also set by investors, and right now, the investors want their money back. Compared to what GD may have once been, these realities create a different culture with a lot of pressure. While leadership does a good job of shielding everyone else from this, the pressure manifests in covert ways that are counter to GD's principles of transparency. Given changes in the recruiting marketplace, GD's products are not getting easier to sell, and an entrenched codebase make it difficult to iterate productively to modernize the product features. All of the above affects the day-to-day.
