Pros

There is a sense of community at Georgia Tech. Everybody who works or studies here feels connected to their work, to their coworkers, and to the school in general. The location is easy to access, as it is in Midtown Atlanta and near the major public transportation providers. The school encourages communication between departments, which usually happens without a hitch. Most everybody is a team player. Having worked in multiple departments on campus, I can truthfully say that these facts are true across the board, particularly in Auxiliary Services and the other departments that fall under this one. Overall, I would recommend getting a job at Tech.

Cons

The Academic Department can be difficult to work with. This includes being a professor or working under a professor. In many instances, the professors are not at the Institution to teach, but to research. This skewed focus causes the students to be on edge, and the people who work with the professors (on behalf of the students) to become frustrated. Also, the overwhelming amount of construction that is constantly polluting our green space is highly disappointing. The limited amount of space allowed to the Institute, due to its location in the center of Atlanta, requires that green space be sacrificed so that more computer labs and library space may be built.

Pros

The pay is good, and the cost of living is low. Good transport in and around the campus is provided by Georgia Tech, in addition to cabs at night -- all free. Also, the campus is in the mid-town area.

Cons

The "reduced tuition" for GRAs is somewhat high: $1150 a year. Unfortunately, there's a somewhat high incidence of theft and other crime in the area, though nothing alarming. Winters can be chilly! Also, if you're planning on riding a bike, it's hard because of the ups and downs.

Pros

Georgia Tech is a great engineering school with lots of opportunity to do research. Some faculty are sincerely interested in helping students succeed but will not baby you. Atlanta is a great city to live with good food, sports, museums, and shows.

Cons

The pay is not great and prospective grad students should be careful who they choose to be their advisor. Parking fees are expensive and food in the dining halls are bad.
