No Experience Required - Anonymous employee General Atomics Employee Review

GA is what happens when consultants and seminars are considered viable solutions to actual experience. It’s kind of like a puzzle where almost all of the pieces are there but not actually connected. That connection would be people with actual experience doing tasks, creating or managing processes and people. Instead we have people without that experience attending webinars or asking a consulting firm how to do something they’ve never done before and executive management telling them to have a go at it. That approach can make sense with companies smaller than 5,000 people and you gotta wear multiple hats. We’re at 15,000 and this amateur business needs to stop.
