Caveat GA - Management General Atomics Employee Review

Pros

Lots of great people. Genuine and care about doing good work. Some divisions have the 980 work week. (Every other Friday off)

Cons

Inept Management. Creating then allowing, even fomenting and fostering a dysfunctional culture. There is an addiction to terribly ineffective processes, inefficiency, defensiveness, and management by fear that is so behind the times, and counter to long understood best practices, it has created a resigned hopelessness among the intimidated folks in the trenches at almost every level. Management is either oblivious or entirely unconcerned. Many unsuspecting employees were bait and switched after being hired with a set-up that they never would have agreed to if foreseen in the interview or recruitment.

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.
