Pros

Relaxed work environment. Work/Life balance is good.

Cons

PAY. Pay is horrible. I love everything about this job but will probably leave soon... I could be doing the exact same thing somewhere else making MUCH better money. ESPECIALLY with the CA cost of living... General Atomic's pay is a joke. The other issue is micromanagement-- it runs rampant throughout GA. For so many military people that work there, it's embarrassing to see how much micromanagement occurs. Set your people free! Let them surprise you!

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
