General Atomics reviews

Horrible culture. Employees left out of the loop on purpose. Management tries to keep engineers talking to customers. A lot of infighting - multiple personal "kingdoms". Most supervisors not trained properly. HR is absolutely worthless. Two classes of people at GA: the managers and the "sorry people". Employees blamed for management screw-ups.

Low Pay. Absolutely no opportunity for advancement or growth. They have a company policy that you cannot move up into another position if it is more than 7% of your current pay. There are many internal talented employees that are not considered for positions due to this rule. It's absurd. They would rather hire from the outside and pay someone more than give a more than qualified internal employee the promotion and raise. Poor Management. Too many Chiefs and too little Indians. If you are retired Military, you are given a job even though you have no experience. No matter how hard you work, you will receive the said raise as someone who is a total slacker. No recognition for your work accomplishments Awful Time Card System. No flexibility with time. No overtime allowed and if you do work overtime, it will be removed from your timecard. There is no "team" mentality. Most departments would rather fight against each other than work together.
