      Pros

      You get to travel around and see a lot of interesting places. Get them to pay for your security clearances and get out. This place is a waste of time.

      Cons

      You have to be in a "clique" to get deployed to the nice or high paying sites. Management is terrible, they end up promoting people who they cant fire for any legal reason but are too inept to be safe working on aircraft. Its a great big scam, you either put your knees and lips to work or you get stuck with the crap work with no chance to get out and make some money.

      Pros

      Current Products Deployed in field, working on products that are used by military personal, some next gen work is being done.

      Cons

      Stagnating work environment and unclear about future concepts. Fear of going outside GA's wheelhouse.

      Pros

      I worked at GA in various roles for about 3 years. Great people to work with, interesting products, pretty casual work environment (depending on what location you are at), decent benefits, optional work days during the holidays.

      Cons

      Not a lot of direction for new hires, work was not very challenging/became routine quickly once you got the hang of it, no career advancement, compensation is not very competitive, hard to get promoted
