Pros

It is highly reputable technical institute for engineering but not for sciences. It is in a midst of a city like Atlanta so there is a lot of industry interaction. Many top recruiting firms come to recruit here.

Cons

The Electrical Dept is too big and it is no longer a very selective institute in terms of admissions. So the student quality has reduced drastically over the years. The library is not good at all and you are not compensated well as there is no uniformity in the salary structure.

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.
