General Atomics Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Great company to work for"

"I really enjoy working for my current company but I am looking to expand my career into new environments."

"I've worked for General Atomics for just over four years. I enjoy the interaction I have with my customer on a regular/daily basis and seeing the immediate impact that my position can have with the customer completing their mission. General company culture is hard to assess as I am remotely located from my company main office. However, any support items or requests that I've made through the years have been handled with the utmost professionalism and urgency. Company pay is good, benefits very good, and they have a company paid pension as well (rare these days) in addition to 401k matching. All in all, General Atomics is a great company with a bright future."

"A very fun and great place to work. Very challenging work."

"Overall is very good."

"ga is a fun and welcoming environment i haven't had a single day in an entire year where i didn't want to be there its intriguing meticulous work that leaves you wanting to push yourself to learn more and become more skilled"

"Basically they are looking for discount employees. They will give you a lowball offer which you should counter offer. Salary is negotiable but company policy limits them to two or three counter offers before they blacklist you. Remember GA is not looking for the most capable employees, competent will suffice and pay is low. This is probably not your dream career but its stable."

"Be very careful what you say, do, and think while at work. This company sniffs on its employees and surely encourages a climate of snitching and telling among employees. Very unforgiving attitude towards people with critical, or independent thinking. Look at the current news about its employees being fed up with unnecessary killing under false pretenses."

"I've worked for General Atomics for 8 years, and have progressed from a deployed mission commander to a program manager. The company has taken care of me with quick promotions and corresponding pay raises. I've had a lot of opportunity to expand my knowledge and experience various facets of managing a program for a large defense contractor. Overall, great experience and great people."

"I have worked at GA-ASI for 4 years. It is a very unstructured environment, usually flying by the seat of your pants. Not a lot of interaction with upper management. No clear goals or objectives for the company or the employees."

"Micromanagement at its best. Young inexperienced managers. Extremely political. No reason to change since the money is just rolling in the doors."

"Their engineering systems process is very poor."

"I've worked at General Atomics for almost a year and although the technology to get the job done is still being upgraded GA is a privately owned business that provide good salaries, benefits, annual bonuses, and a pension."

"I worked for General Atomics for 6 months and found it to be a great company with good people. There is ample collaboration between co-workers and lots of people ready to help get new workers up to speed. Communication with leads is open and available."
