Pros

I worked at General Atomics in Poway as a Project Control Analyst for 5 years, and it was truly one of the best companies I’ve ever been part of. The people are supportive, the culture is positive, and the managers in Finance and Program Scheduling are highly knowledgeable. There are real opportunities for growth and advancement, making it a fantastic place to build a career

Cons

If you are hired at a lower salary, it’s difficult to catch up later, even with promotions or raises. Negotiating pay at the time of hire is the key, because starting low means staying low in GA
