Pros
Vertical Integration from circuit board and mechanical components to fully assembled and integrated aircraft and support equipment make for a challenging and interesting environment. Pension, 401k, health plans, time off, other benefits. Company internally funds independent research at a much higher percentage rate than other leading aerospace companies. The company has many dedicated and innovative employees. Being a private company has allowed for long term planning and directiin without being misdirected by stockholder concerns.
Cons
You need to have an Engineering degree or hard science BS to be considered for an Engineering position. The company is competing against larger competitors.

Pros
9/80, Pension Plan, Bonuses, Benefits GA is a place I was proud to work for, building UAV’s for our military. The majority of my co-workers were great people, collaborative, and hard working. GA offers great salaries, benefits, and a pension plan in addition to a 9/80 work schedule.
Cons
Toxic culture, Silos, Nepotism, Company bleeding $, Management Beyond all this facade of perks, lays a toxic underbelly of nepotism, a silo-type culture that doesn’t hesitate to throw each department under the bus. No one takes ownership of issues, only deflects and blames others. They operate way over budget and can’t be competitive on contracts with their competitors. Management has changed and they are in way over their heads. Horrible employees that have long documented histories of subordination, poor performance, and even assaults on fellow employees are never fired nor reprimanded. High turn over of talented people who only stayed for the 9/80 and pension. I’m glad I left before the August 2020 layoff of 600+ people after the loss of some large contracts. The future at GA is definitely questionable.
