Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting research and some legitimately caring people

Cons

Georgia Tech takes part in the usual exploitation of graduate students as the workhorses behind research, without any of the benefits to protect graduate students. Despite working 40+ hour weeks, Georgia Tech makes us always register ourselves as part-time (1/3rd time).

Business Outlook

Pros

On Campus recruiting opportunities, career fairs and other recruiting events attract and overwhelming amount of quality employers due to GT's stellar reputation and quality students.

Cons

Leadership is a disaster. Career Center is always in a state of transition due to leadership caring more about a new hire's pedigree than their actual relevant job knowledge and experience. High leadership turnover leads to staff burnout and attrition. Students aren't being served, colleges are creating their own career centers as solutions.
