Pros

Great work/life balance, good benefits, lots of amazing things going on around campus. There's never a shortage of interesting projects. Overall, very collegial atmosphere. Beautiful campus in the heart of downtown Atlanta. High level of job security.

Cons

Limited opportunities for professional growth. Old school management structure and processes. Most people tend to leave only when they retire. Projects and people move very, very slowly. Pay is low compared to private sector.

Business Outlook

Pros

Courses are rigourous, and professors are top notch. The benifits of working as a student include a tution waiver and also a stipend, which is great. OMCS has also opened up a lot of oppurtunities for work.

Cons

Like all big organisations, there are layers upon layers of rules and forms. The lack of flexibility hurts sometimes.

Business Outlook

Pros

Georgia Tech is a very sound technical educational institution. Very competent faculty, good staff, great and interested students, great location (mid-town Atlanta). Its engineering programs are among the highest rated in the country, and they deserve to be.

Cons

Being a state institution and state employees in a state like Georgia definitely has its disadvantages. No salary increases in six years! And I do not like being on campus with the "guns everywhere" legislation passed in Georgia last year.
