Pros

Georgia Tech has a well-deserved reputation for being a great school. Working around the best and brightest students is a treat. The energy and diversity on campus are wonderful.

Cons

Surprisingly, GT has poor technology for staff members. Many silos on campus keep people apart, and prevent good communications. Professors have a well-defines career path, but no one else at GT does - the professional development classes are a mixed bag: some are good, but some are outdated and not a good use of time. The benefits package is complex and difficult to understand. It was difficult to get anyone in HR to answer questions - they usually refer questions to a website.

Pros

Great Benefits. That was it

Cons

The pay is egregiously bad. My boss would commonly talk about how teachers are underpaid while unaware that teachers actually make more than financial analysts at Georgia Tech. They have also recently instituted a return to work policy that requires all staff to be back on site 5 days a week. This has led to a lot of turnover and hiring has not kept up from what I've seen leading to overworked employees. In my 2.5 years at tech I realized that the vast majority of people are just trying to run out the clock so they can cash their pension in. This leads to very few motivated workers and it is an easy trap to fall into. Little financial incentives to progress. No end of year bonuses, little annual raises if any at all, and no senior analyst roles mean there are few financial incentives to "try". When I started they had analyst levels 1 through 3 but that abolished and everyone was put under the title of analyst. Overall I would not recommend to anyone unless you are a student looking for expirence.
