Pros

General Atomics has amazing products. Some Benefits

Cons

Leverage your network and learn all you can about HR from the inside. TA is largely an 'order taker' posture versus strategic partner, this shift occurred approx 2.5 years ago as HR services began to dictate offers and processes. Many large titles in the company with no authority in the business. Human Resources has some of the highest turn-over in the company. Employee Resource Groups were pulled from external websites and removed from public view. Pension appears to be eroding; before March 2021 7% non-contributory current is less than 1%. Merits and bonuses are reducing; recommend negotiating the highest salary possible when you receive an offer. Annual merit is 2-3% on average. ICP is "discretionary". Engineering groups, Energy, ASI, and EMS have been phenomenal; GA still has some of the most intelligent people in the industry building cutting-edge technology. However, the business executives need a serious review and change.

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.
