Outstanding. - Technical V General Atomics Employee Review

Pros

As with any job, this will depend on your department and direct manager but my experience with GA has been been excellent. Great benefits, decent pay, flexibility, onsite gym, pool etc. I went through a divorce and my boss was very understanding. I missed a fair share of days due to court appearances etc, but was able to make up the time and still maintain solid reviews and pay raises.

Cons

I don't have too many cons to list, other than the general frustrations one might experience at any job. Putting up with the lazy jerk, or two, I guess but those are the exceptions. Most coworkers are helpful, honest and knowledgeable.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
