Pros

Great benefits, set your own schedule, raise very year, bonuses light demands

Cons

Very close to working for the government: not much gets accomplished, major red tape, committees, review boards etc to get anything done. One of the secretaries said she has worked for many companies over the years and has never seen so many unhappy employees. From the outside it looks great because of all of the Pros, but the life is slowly sucked out of you with this company until you become one of the many that doesn't care because you can't make your job efficient or productive or satisfying.

Pros

Cutting edge product, excellent benefits, most employees work a 9-80, tuition reimbursement ($5000 per year), good location, nice people. There are lots of people here who love GA-ASI and devote countless hours to ensure our product is the best in the world. Devotion can be taken advantage of by managers and some people get burnt out. The pay is excellent for engineers and manufacturing folks. If you are in a support role, such as IT or Accounting the pay is not so stellar and your at the mercy of the "more important" groups requests and preferences.

Cons

If you don't work in the Engineering groups or the Manufacturing group you'll be subjected to wait for resources to become available and might see your benefits be reduced.
