Good and Stable

Pros

Tech is a large university and is helping to build Atlanta into a major city. Being a part of that is great and there is a lot going on at Tech.

Cons

Money and resources go into where it can do great work, but also where it is seen. Raises and promotions are scarce unless you're at the top. Sometimes it feels like management would rather keep you in a current role and keep pushing you to work above and beyond without any recompense or advancement.
