General Atomics reviews

*Standard pay raise in 2022 is 5% points behind CPI in San Diego. *Post vaccine availability, company officially stopped any WFH as management has stated they don't trust engineers to get their work done. Opposition to 9/80 for years prior for the same reason, only relenting summer of 2022 because of high attrition and employee dissatisfaction. *Three layoffs in the last 18 months. *Lots of R&D projects that don't go anywhere. *Company reorgs every year or so. *Salaried, but also responsible for charging at least 40 hours a week to a customer. One person will be loaded up with 60-70 hours of work (while only getting compensated for 40) and down the hall someone else is forced to use vacation time because their management doesn't have 40 hours of work for them and overhead is "too tight".

hard work, low compensation, unrealistic contract demands
