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

Pros

Knowledgeable engineers and technicians, great learning opportunities, good training

Cons

Not so much of a CON, but you get thrown into the fire as soon as you're hired. Very fast paced.

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.
