Pros

Cutting edge product, excellent benefits, most employees work a 9-80, tuition reimbursement ($5000 per year), good location, nice people. There are lots of people here who love GA-ASI and devote countless hours to ensure our product is the best in the world. Devotion can be taken advantage of by managers and some people get burnt out. The pay is excellent for engineers and manufacturing folks. If you are in a support role, such as IT or Accounting the pay is not so stellar and your at the mercy of the "more important" groups requests and preferences.

Cons

If you don't work in the Engineering groups or the Manufacturing group you'll be subjected to wait for resources to become available and might see your benefits be reduced.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
