      Pros

      Good starting pay out of school. Good benefits, paid holidays.

      Cons

      Politics, Good Old Boys Club atmosphere, managers sleeping with subordinates, giving away Government assets to friends, sexisim, ageism, retaliation for whistle blowing, constant backstabbing from coworkers and management. Lower than cost of living annual pay increases if you make waves. (ie. 2% or less) Wife/Husband swapping while on deployment. Misappropriation of government money and assets. Frequent verbal disparagement from coworkers that goes unchecked by management and HR. Frequent verbal disparagement of gays and lesbians. The culture is one of intolerance.

      Pros

      I have found my work at general atomics to be both challenging and interesting. My supervisor has allowed me to take on a lot of responsibility and has rewarded me along the way for my efforts.

      Cons

      I don't have a lot of negative things to say. The dynamic work environment has its challenges, however, on most days I find this to be a blessing.
