Pros

Work at your own pace, not a lot of pressure, ability to grow both academically and socially as far as learning how to interact in an engineering environment.

Cons

General Atomics did not provide what would generally be considered by the standard population in this fine country of ours as the most astute way of stimulating interns.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
