Pros

Relaxed work environment. Work/Life balance is good.

Cons

PAY. Pay is horrible. I love everything about this job but will probably leave soon... I could be doing the exact same thing somewhere else making MUCH better money. ESPECIALLY with the CA cost of living... General Atomic's pay is a joke. The other issue is micromanagement-- it runs rampant throughout GA. For so many military people that work there, it's embarrassing to see how much micromanagement occurs. Set your people free! Let them surprise you!
