Georgia Tech Reviews in Atlanta, GA Area

Pros

Fair salary for the Atlanta area. Enough to get by. Research faculty are top notch and the facilities are competitive with anywhere other university in the country.

Cons

Administration are not fully appreciative of their employees. Very rigid on protocol, raise fees for graduate students every few semesters. While my immediate boss, who is my contact for all of my research, was amazing, the administration of the institute was quite rude and unpleasant.

Advice to Senior Management

Research staff, you're doing a great job. Administrative staff, at least try to mask the fact that you want to run the institute like a business.

Pros

There is no shortage of challenging problems and equally no shortage of resources to help you solve them. If you like working on challenging problems, this is the place. Plus one can easily leverage the skills that you learn here and apply it to any other field at the end of your tenure.
