Pros

The work is good but all the other factors make this a toxic place to work

Cons

Micromanaging Inexperienced Leaders Lots on infighting between managers Hire experienced people but some are threatened by knowledge and experience No career path for those who get hired in vs. been there for a long time. Seniority is more important than skills. The time will come when technology improves and GA becomes insignificant

Pros

Knowledgeable engineers and technicians, great learning opportunities, good training

Cons

Not so much of a CON, but you get thrown into the fire as soon as you're hired. Very fast paced.

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.
