Ventajas

Once a week free lunches worth about $7 cannot possibly make up for the awful working environment.

Desventajas

If you report to the right person, you don't have to contribute anything worthwhile and can fly under the radar for weeks or months without ever actually doing work. There is a backdoor network of 'good old boys' being hired in and the entire C-level team has been systematically fired over the past year and replaced with NTT Data people. If you don't have a history with these men you won't survive. I have never worked for a more dysfunctional company. My manager has changed about so many times since I started working here. I've seen people not get paid because payroll doesn't keep track of what kind of compensation plan someone has. Direction and communication changes so often that no one can get anything done. Senior management bullies their subordinates and their peers. I've been on calls where directors or account managers SCREAM at people, call them idiots, and there is no repercussion, no workplace respect training. Even the CEO was walked out but no matter - he was awful, too. One sales guy has a reputation for being so terrible that his name is a verb and there are people here who refuse to be in the same room with him. It's funny that we have t-shirts that say No Jerks Allowed when that seems to be the criteria they promote. I've watched people join the company and then quit within weeks because they either can't get support from their managers on what their job even is, or they don't want to put up with the abusive people in this company. The attrition rate is insane - I would guess 75% of people do not last more than 6 months. Even recruiters I've been talking to have told me that they have heard horrible stories about GDT and will not work with them. Every day is a stomach-ache of nerves waiting for someone to fire me over something dumb and I don't know from day to day if a coworker will be gone and I'll have to pick up their work on top of my own again. Beware of being recruited and told that there is a "flexible" work from home policy. They tell you one thing, then make you do another. CEO forced most of us to come back in-office to work when the pandemic wasn't even over. Worst location, too. Car break-ins in the parking lot are so bad that they encourage people to park in the locked parking area, but that area isn't very secure seeing as how someone even stole the guard dog they used to keep in there.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Tuesday Lunch is still a great perk and the highlight of the week. GDT is excited with the numerous internal promotions and the external hires that have been brought into the organization. Additionally, GDT offers a great referral program that incentivized our members to participate bringing in new talent. Lastly, GDT is still operating in a flex hybrid model and has no plans to deviate based on it success in productivity.

Ventajas

I’ve been with the company for 10 years, and it’s truly been an incredible place to build a long-term career. What stands out most is the culture. GDT is filled with collaborative and supportive people who genuinely want to see each other succeed. Leadership consistently demonstrates transparency and trust, giving employees the space to grow while providing the guidance needed to excel. Over the years, I’ve had countless opportunities to take on new challenges, expand my skill set, and work on projects that made a real impact. The company invests heavily in professional development, encourages new ideas, and actually listens when employees speak up. That’s rare and it’s why so many of us stay. Work-life balance has been solid, and the flexibility offered has made it easy to navigate both personal and professional commitments. Benefits are strong, compensation is competitive, and the company never stops looking for ways to improve. After a decade, I can honestly say this is a place where people can thrive long term. I’m proud to be part of this team and excited for what comes next. Pros: • Supportive leadership • Strong opportunities for growth • Collaborative culture • Great benefits and work-life balance • Meaningful, impactful work

Desventajas

None that outweigh the positives, GDT is genuinely a great place to be.
