      Pros

      Located in a nice part of San Diego

      Cons

      Family owned and run - like Game of Thrones but worse. Zero leadership and little actual management, ridiculously outdated systems, tools, and processes.

      Pros

      Good work life balance. 9/80 schedule is nice and there is the option to work from home on occasion. Regular raises and bonuses.

      Cons

      Work load wildly fluctuates throughout the year with the responsibility left up to the employee at times to find tasks to do if there is a low volume of work. The charge number system is a real pain to work with. Some of the business partners this company has chosen to work with are a bit morally questionable.

      Pros

      GA-ASI has been on cutting edge of uncrewed aircraft for 30+ years and isn't slowing down. If you've got what it takes to excel in an every changing environment there is constant change and unlimited upward mobility.

      Cons

      Motivate yourself! GA-ASI doesn't reward those that expect handouts or say "I'd work harder if I got paid more"; if you want good/regular pay raises it's on the individual to excel and be awesome.
