General Atomics reviews

The work culture is terrible. It's a very rigid place to work. Forget working from home. They have enormous attrition, but unwilling to adapt to new work environment norms. The restrictions on software packages are so limiting it is hard to get your work done. They are slow to adapt to the times. Top heavy in management. Annual performance reviews are a joke. To help attrition, they give ice cream parties and awards while not addressing the flexible schedules and work from home policies that employees are requesting.

Upper management is clear time and time again that they do not care about their bottom line. They are leading the business to failure, literally. Although the owner is able to afford mansions in San Diego from war profiteering, there is no money for bonuses or raises for those lucky to not get laid off. Don’t expect flexibility in your work hours, either. They are adamant against working from home or a flexible work schedule. If you try to bring these points up to senior management, you will get shut down as the best response they can come up with. The President of EMS is known to be a terrible person, who gets his way through intimidation like a teenage bully. I was unsurprised to learn that he called a bottom line engineer to proceeded to verbally abuse him for 15 minutes due to a failure of a supplier. I would run, not walk, away from the company.
