      Good Employer, not recommended for long term - Engineering Manufacturing Liaison General Atomics Employee Review

      Pros

      General Atomics is a very stable employer. They do not have layoffs like many other defense companies. Salaries are competitive for new employees. Convenient cafeterias and gyms. 401K match and a company paid pension fund make for a good retirement plan. Excellent company to gain experience at for 3-5 years, especially for young engineers. 9/80 schedule provides long weekends every other week (for those who don't end up working).

      Cons

      Lack of layoffs means the company is sometime reluctant to staff up for short term spikes which requires longer hours of employees. Work/life balance could use some improvement. Long term employees will not see their pay increase with industry levels, even with outstanding annual reviews (hence the "not recommended for long term" in the title).

      Pros

      Managers are very supportive and foster growth while challenging you. Semi flexible schedule - can come in early or stay late to meet required hours. Decent pay, tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, Mentorship opportunities

      Cons

      Leadership tends to get ahead of themselves with potential large contracts. Begin to invest a lot of time and money prior to contracts being awarded. Could be more clear on company goals and mission. Limited salary increase when changing roles.
