Pros

Surrounded by newer employees that have great ideas and could really make GA a great company.

Cons

Top leadership at GA will not allow any change. Every aspect is very unnecessarily political and old school. Managers get the high salaries, big bonuses and training to better themselves but never share it with the people that actually do the work. Long hours, pitiful wages and mediocre bennies. No opportunity for advancement unless you are a white man.

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
