      It's ok! Really. It's not THAT bad!

      Pros

      Not perfect, but not terrible. PMs are treated well although no training is given and many PMs have no real experience in the role. They were officers in the military or promoted through nepotism/favoritsm, or from engineer ro, PM with no business acumen.

      Cons

      Oh those pros seem like cons. Welcome to ASI. We shrug off a lot of BS because most colleagues are really good, decent, funny people.

      Different than any place out there - Good and bad

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Privately held: Almost run like a non-profit with huge investment in IRAD and ability to fund decisions and actions that would be unthinkable in publicly traded companies. Market leader: Market is cornered domestically and a significant head start on most competitors globally 9/80 work schedule Company truly cares about its employees (evidenced by a severe avoidance of layoffs whereas other companies would have done multiple layoff events)

      Cons

      Company culture of Engineers playing in their sandbox and cost doesn't matter. The company really is a bunch of Engineers playing (and actually making cool stuff) and they just happen to make aircraft that sometimes they sell for a profit. There are a lot of people that have grown up in GA and continue to think that what made the company grow 15-20 years ago is what should continue to be done today.

      Pros

      Company does not layoff often. Executive leaders really do try to avoid those. Giving 4 stars due to stability of employment. But how happy you'll be at GA-ASI depends a lot on who you are and what you value in your company. Access to lots of info, if you take the effort. Even if you're a number cruncher, you can get on the mfg floor and see what GA-ASI builds or talk to Engineering. Lots of changes in company processes you can get involved in (not necessarily modernizing, though)

      Cons

      Slow promotion opportunities in PM if you don't get into the right circles or the right manager. Can feel like you get stuck. Pay is falling g behind other companies Old-school mindset in the top leadership. Slow to adopt things that are more common in other aircraft mfg companies. From workforce things like remote work, equal pay / opportunities for women to top level planning and organization identity
