GA-EMS has a culture problem - Anonymous employee General Atomics Employee Review

Pros

Job security, pension, benefits, relatively flexible work schedule

Cons

EMS has a problem with their work culture. I feel like confidence and arrogance were held in higher regard than true competence. I'm aware that it varies by department, so it's truly a hit or miss how your experience will be at this company. There are true underdogs that don't get the recognition they deserve. But they get overshadowed by those who have little experience (hard and soft skills), and know how to kiss butt in front of senior management. Plus, it is VERY heavily siloed. Don't expect to cross collaborate without getting reprimanded.

Thanks for the review! We’re pleased to know that you benefited from the flexible scheduling, job security and pension that we were able to offer during your time with us. Sounds like it wasn’t an ideal fit, but we’re hearing your suggestions regarding cultural diversity and we’re working hard to implement as we grow. Thanks again!

Pros

Lots of structure, tools and resources to do the job.

Cons

Culture was like a Principal's office. Focus on little rules that overshadow overall work output.
