"GTRI is such a vast institution that no two people have the same experience. They break up their organization by labs, branches, and divisions, so there is so much spread that you often do not know what your neighbor is working on. In my experience, the on-boarding and HR process is full of "gotchas" when it comes to setting up your work environment/office, PTO, parking, and etc. Communication lacks and people make rash decisions on the daily. For me, that caused me to stress out, because there were many instances of me making a change, then the next day I learned the change was not urgent at all and needs to removed/changed in some way. They describe the experience as "dynamic" and want people that can fit into that model. The last thing I will mention is that everybody is highly intelligent, which is awesome, but does lead to pride and ego issues when you try to steer their thoughts into a different direction."

"It was good for an on-campus job."
