Pros

Surrounded by newer employees that have great ideas and could really make GA a great company.

Cons

Top leadership at GA will not allow any change. Every aspect is very unnecessarily political and old school. Managers get the high salaries, big bonuses and training to better themselves but never share it with the people that actually do the work. Long hours, pitiful wages and mediocre bennies. No opportunity for advancement unless you are a white man.

Pros

Knowledgeable engineers and technicians, great learning opportunities, good training

Cons

Not so much of a CON, but you get thrown into the fire as soon as you're hired. Very fast paced.

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.
