The company desperately needs change

Software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Surrounded by newer employees that have great ideas and could really make GA a great company.

Cons

Top leadership at GA will not allow any change. Every aspect is very unnecessarily political and old school. Managers get the high salaries, big bonuses and training to better themselves but never share it with the people that actually do the work. Long hours, pitiful wages and mediocre bennies. No opportunity for advancement unless you are a white man.
