Pluspunten

Interesting and challenging assignments, lots of responsibility if you seek it out.

Minpunten

The owner (and chief salesperson) will provide impossible promises to customers about the schedule. Computers will be sold with unrealistic deadlines, and then the engineers are supposed to do everything they can to meet that schedule... including cutting corners on validating the design, not doing proper design reviews, etc. Then, when the computers are inoperative or partially operative because of a rushed, improper design, the owner will go on a rampage and cuss out the entirety of the engineering department in a company wide meeting. Other examples of the rushed schedule and deadlines that I have personally witnessed are shipping empty shells of computer systems to government agencies and/or contractors so that the agency can mark it as "received" by the end of the fiscal year. Then, once that is done, the agency will RMA it to GMS to be replaced with an actual computer system once it is finished... 1-3 months later.

Since 1979, GMS has been an innovate technology leader with over 98% customer retention and a one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings in the industry. We value and invest in our employees - with an increase in our engineering staff of more than 50% over the last several years. Our employees are the foundation for our success, and we evaluate and retain our engineers not by the number of hours worked, but rather by the quality of what they produce. It is unfortunate that this former employee has made comments regarding the company based on limited information. We take great pride in our organization and our staff, and do not feel that the statements made are indicative of our organization, processes or culture.
