Pros

The people at GA are great and the work is interesting/challenging most of the time. Depending on your division/department, the 9/80 schedule is awesome and boss is pretty flexible with working schedule.

Cons

Lots of baby boomers still around making it difficult to get promoted/find growth opportunities. For private company, would think they take better care of employees and offer better benefits.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
