Pros

No pros. Most people list work life balance and benefits as a pro of working at GTRI, but work life balance and benefits are actually terrible compared to modern private industry in the tech sector.

Cons

Working here in software role and I recommend avoiding at all costs. The pay is low, no remote work, the organization is dysfunctional, and the work is low impact and boring using outdated tech. I just received an offer paying triple my GTRI salary and fully remote. GTRI needs to double or triple salaries to meet tech salaries and offer full remote roles.

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.
