Pros

Cutting edge product, excellent benefits, most employees work a 9-80, tuition reimbursement ($5000 per year), good location, nice people. There are lots of people here who love GA-ASI and devote countless hours to ensure our product is the best in the world. Devotion can be taken advantage of by managers and some people get burnt out. The pay is excellent for engineers and manufacturing folks. If you are in a support role, such as IT or Accounting the pay is not so stellar and your at the mercy of the "more important" groups requests and preferences.

Cons

If you don't work in the Engineering groups or the Manufacturing group you'll be subjected to wait for resources to become available and might see your benefits be reduced.

Pros

It's a great stepping stone to a better job. You get most of the experience's you need for other employment. If you want to pay off your student loans this may be the place to be for you.

Cons

If you want to move up in the company do something wrong, and get in trouble. You will get promoted. If you do your job right, expect to stay where you are. Don't expect much when it comes to raises....maybe 3-4% If you get promoted, expect to get payed for your promotion years later. REALLY. They don't want to pay for your promotion, even though you hold a new title in the company. Watch your pay, and there fuzzy math when on deployment.
