Pros

People are friendly and morale is high.

Cons

VP of engineering still runs the place like it has 20 employees. GA-ASI used to feel like it was on a mission. Nowadays it feels like the post office. The company might be in trouble if it doesn't get a new major contract soon, but managers keep staffing like it's 9/12/2001.

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
