Pros

9/80 work schedule, 401K, grateful to have an income

Cons

Management favors former military who think they’re still in the military. Lack of flow down information across the board. Favoritism, processes and policies that continuously change without company wide notification. Just a mess of a company with high turnover. People come here for ‘job security’ because GA has never had a major layoff. The trade off is low pay and archaic processes. It’s definitely a ‘good old boys’ culture where one gets ahead by kissing up to management.

General Atomics Response

We appreciate the 8+ years you’ve spent with us, and we’re glad to know that you’re happy with your flexible schedule, your retirement benefits and your job security – all of which are very important to us, too. While we’re obviously disappointed to hear your views on our culture, our management teams do, in fact, grow and change. As do our processes. But it takes time when an organization grows as quickly as we’ve been growing, and so we appreciate your efforts to push us.

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

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