      Pros

      I can not in any capacity recommend nor think of a reason any engineer should work for GA. This is segregated to the Desert Sites. HQ in Poway seems to be better.

      Cons

      Adelanto, El Mirage, Grey Butte sites are run by an incompetent Director (Micro-managing, pointless meetings, nepotism, no real engineering knowledge). Desert Sites have lost good engineers left and right in 2017. HR is well aware of the issues and turn a blind eye to the issues. The place is a revolving door for engineers (Mandatory 6 am start time, no security clearance, titles are vague and unclear, underpaid, will move you to other sites at their discretion). Job postings state Propulsion and Mechanical Engineers wanted however the Director will eventually turn all into Manufacturing Engineers. Very unstable.
