Pros

Fair salary for the Atlanta area. Enough to get by. Research faculty are top notch and the facilities are competitive with anywhere other university in the country.

Cons

Administration are not fully appreciative of their employees. Very rigid on protocol, raise fees for graduate students every few semesters. While my immediate boss, who is my contact for all of my research, was amazing, the administration of the institute was quite rude and unpleasant.

Business Outlook

Pros

You can learn a lot from the professors and also concentrate on your own interesting problems. People are brilliant here and they can understand where your problems lie in quickly.

Cons

You have to work hard at Georgia Tech. It is not the place where you can relax and have good achievement. You have to really devote into what you are doing now, otherwise, your professor can tell.
