Pros

Great technology Corporate Perks and retirement plans Co-workers were fun and made great friends Good company to put on your resume

Cons

Growth is very limited. No training programs for employee development, and the positions are very specialized - once you're in a position, you're pretty much stuck. When there is a position open, an external applicant has always been chosen over promoting from within. Very demotivating. Management will always ask you what your career goals are during the interview and during reviews so you'll think there is hope, but nothing ever comes out of it. Compensation is minimal for the amount of work you are expected to do. Especially for the worker bees who are rewarded a lot less, but are constantly stressed out to make other people look good. Employee morale doesn't seem to be a priority because there is always a line of people wanting to work at GA. If you're coasting to retirement, this is a good fit for you. Otherwise, don't expect any promotions and minimal pay increases in this department.

Good people to work with. Workplace was very positive. Aknowledgement of your contribution was regular.

Cons

New management changed procedures and direction became a little muddled. Managemnt did not seem to want input from workers when decisions were made.
