Pros

An awesome department with a highly collaborative environment and supportive faculty. There are several events a year to help bring a full department together, foster community, and scientific collaborations. Faculty and student groups also do a good job at bringing a variety of industry networking and career development opportunities to the department.

Cons

Honestly, not many cons I can think of. The department honestly tries to increase grad student salary annually (and was successful in it every year I've been in the program so far), but with the current budget cuts, they can not offer it this year. Hopefully, this trend will be restored once the scientific funding situation improves.

Pros

Great Benefits. That was it

Cons

The pay is egregiously bad. My boss would commonly talk about how teachers are underpaid while unaware that teachers actually make more than financial analysts at Georgia Tech. They have also recently instituted a return to work policy that requires all staff to be back on site 5 days a week. This has led to a lot of turnover and hiring has not kept up from what I've seen leading to overworked employees. In my 2.5 years at tech I realized that the vast majority of people are just trying to run out the clock so they can cash their pension in. This leads to very few motivated workers and it is an easy trap to fall into. Little financial incentives to progress. No end of year bonuses, little annual raises if any at all, and no senior analyst roles mean there are few financial incentives to "try". When I started they had analyst levels 1 through 3 but that abolished and everyone was put under the title of analyst. Overall I would not recommend to anyone unless you are a student looking for expirence.
