Pros

- Super collaborative and supportive environment. I've worked at GA Tech for only one year but felt very much at home immediately after being hired. People are nice, welcoming, and supportive of diversity. - Lots of diversity! - I've had a really great experience working with my team. I haven't had any issues with anyone, we all get along great and are supportive of each other's work (including helping each other out with tasks and projects when needed), and I couldn't ask for a better work environment.

Cons

- I wish I made more money, but it is just the nature of working in academia. - I have heard that my extremely positive experience at GA Tech is not always the norm, so I wanted to share my two cents, but maybe take it with a grain of salt. I came here from a toxic work environment somewhere else and am now very happy at GA Tech and wouldn't want to leave.
