Pros

The retirement contribution is amazing. Many options to choose from for benefits. If you're doing research for GTRI, it's mostly a positive experience - the institute really strives to help all its researchers obtain graduate degrees in order to advance their careers (a Masters degree is required to be promoted beyond a certain level).

Cons

If you are not doing research (support functions), there is a general lack of motivation. Promotions in the are more based on time served rather than performance.

Pros

Great team at the Smyrna Office, Specifically ATAS. You have ownership over the process and create the protocols and procedures which felt very empowering. The work environment healthy and you can have a balance in life. The company also is very engineer biased which is fine but that ruins team cohesion at times. Also lord forbid you be a new hire and a project is cancelled well buddy no job for you!!

Cons

The job is not stable as it is dependent on contracts and their extensions, this is the reason why I was unable to go full time. Also due to past negligence a lot of the job is fixing other peoples problems. Also your work day can either be slow or very fast. Also at times it felt you were punished for completing work timely as priorities would change.
