Expectations catching up to reality - Engineer VI General Atomics Employee Review

Knowledgeable engineers and technicians, great learning opportunities, good training

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

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.
