If you're actually capable work somewhere else, you'll be disappointed here. - Mechanical Engineer General Atomics Employee Review

Talented engineers Excellent manager 9/80 work schedule

Dependence on contract funding causes some instability on what project you work on

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

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.
