General Atomics Senior Software Developer reviews

outdated technology 'managers' are a joke, only a few are actually worthy of the title no training slow pace and no work theres a culture of just getting by; everyone does the bare minimum theres just no room for growth, not a learning environment

This is NOT a good place to learn how to develop good software -- engineering process is made up as they go along instead of leveraging industry practices and tools. Functional organization means that engineers are interchangeable cogs expected to put in a certain number of hours on a project according to some manpower plan, making it hard to develop a good team. There's no investment in training. As a defense contractor, hours must be logged as though you're an hourly worker, but overtime isn't paid. Opportunities for advancement in technical areas are poor, and there's very little recognition of high performers. There's a lot of self-imposed bureaucracy and parochial business practices. Progress is slow.
