      Pros

      I worked at GA in various roles for about 3 years. Great people to work with, interesting products, pretty casual work environment (depending on what location you are at), decent benefits, optional work days during the holidays.

      Cons

      Not a lot of direction for new hires, work was not very challenging/became routine quickly once you got the hang of it, no career advancement, compensation is not very competitive, hard to get promoted

      Pros

      Company is private and as such, they are not tied to the whims of shareholders.

      Cons

      Management requires a lot and pays a little. Your best raise will come when you come to work with a new job offer. No funding for training, everything is OJT. Severely understaffed because Management's bonuses are directly tied to cost savings. Cradle to grave positions abound. Management has a deep-rooted culture of nepotism. Don't bring your wife or g/f to company functions, they do what they want...in a bad way.
