Pros

I have met some of the brightest individuals of my adult life at GA. GA is one of the few companies that offers both 401K plan and a pension plan which is practically nonexistant any more. I have been able to advance personally and professionally. The company allowed me on the job training in new areas of expertise which in turn made me more valuable to the company. I have bonuses every year since I started working there 10 years ago. The main campus has a tennis court, swimming pool with cabana. Many of the sites have on-site gyms and showers. Mostly the best place I've ever worked. The Aeronautical Division, not so much.

Cons

Some divisions are not run as well as others. Avoid the ASI organization at all costs.

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.
