General Atomics reviews

As an engineer, there are many opportunities to get close to the products and collect feedback from the grass roots. The layout at the RB site is such that many of the shops are within a 5 minute walk and there is unfettered access throughout. The morale is generally very good and I get the sense that many employees, , have a connection to the product. There is often ample funding to pursue product improvement projects and milestones are often accomplished though these are often late because projects are not properly scoped but that's for the other section of the review. I have never had valid time off requests denied and my supervisor has always been flexible with errands that occasionally pop up during business hours. My co-workers enjoy their jobs or at the very least put on a happy face. It's a pleasant place to work. Oh, and you get paid every other week.

Touching things. Being able to look at a schematic with out contract negotiations. Having defined processes which are actually followed. Having entrance exams to weed out applicants. One management structure. No matrix organizations!!! Working with other links in the chain because they have a name and face. Helping to improve the USA and her allies kill ratios. Working at a defense contractor which operates the way they used too. Unlike the ones which Ike saw come out of WWII and warned us against. NO EVMS!!!!
