Pros

Salary/benefits are above average, certifications are paid for, coworker are cool to work with, young, and down to earth.

Cons

GSD is an organization in shambles. Employees are constantly quitting or getting fired for little to no reason. There is no guidance and management believes that employees are completely expendable. The only measure of success is billable hours. There is no learning, there is no one to learn from, and younger employees have no career path or guidance. The reviews on glassdoor are true, you have been warned.

Pros

Sadly, the company quickly deteriorated after the other co-founder (Chris) left. While it was clear that it was the first time heading a company for both co-founders, and that they both had a lot to learn in terms of leadership, the Partner left behind (Naushad) lacked respect from the team--he demonstrated bad decision-making ability and leadership abilities with a wonderful consistency--this lead to 14 people leaving the company in June and July (out of a total of ~25)-- so unfortunately, there are no pros I can think of.

Cons

The company has no experienced professionals left; those left behind have minimal (~1 year) experience. While they are smart, the company doesn't provide professional training to be a consultant, leading to 90% poorly executed client projects. If you are a new client, make sure to ask them to provide references. CEO (Naushad) will hire and fire high level executives within the span of months, reflecting poor judgment abilities, as well as a lack of respect for hiring practices. Employee satisfaction is of low priority, with multiple projects having unreasonable timelines promised (with the burden to deal with unhappy clients being on the delivery team), and a general rudeness and suspicion in terms of how he treats employees. The company has been on an "upward trajectory" for the past 5 months, but 14 (smart and experienced) people have left the company in June and July (out of a total of ~25)-- I'm not sure if the last few positive reviews are even true reviews. Current employee morale is extremely low. They have a bad reputation within the Salesforce community and clients alike. Unsure if GSD will be around in the next 6 months. Stay away.

Pros

You can learn salesforce, a desirable skill-set. Made lots of friends. Young crowd and good location. I'm trying to think of others but I can't. Also company is in NYC not in Iowa. I think they put that so people will be fooled when they check into them.

Cons

Awful management, pissed off clients, horrible projects, poor management of projects and training. I don't think many people make it a year at this company. Turnover is extremely high especially those who are experienced with salesforce. Which made it harder for people like myself where we are less experienced with work and salesforce. CEO talks down to people, doesn't appreciate staff and makes crude comments that made me feel uncomfortable. When I approached him about comments it was first denied then he admitted it and made excuses for his behavior turning the blame around on me. I have been gone for a few months now and was afraid to write a review as I saw management threaten those they though wrote poor reviews on Glassdoor.
