Georgia Institute of Technology Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I love this job and I live my school."

"GTRI is a great place to work if you want to work on defense-related R&D-type work. Since it is mostly defense work, you need to be US citizen, and eligible for a security clearance. You get the opportunity to branch out, beyond whatever you already know. That makes it different from large contractors, from what I hear. You have a lot of autonomy, whether that means you will have time to explore subjects and solutions you might not have otherwise, or just slack off, will be up to you. However things tend to get more hectic when it is time to deliver, or demo to a customer, etc. In exchange for greater opportunity for career growth, and more personal autonomy, expect to get paid less than you probably would in the private sector (GTRI is technically part of the state gov't)."

"I have worked at the Georgia Institute of Technology for 3 years as a postdoctoral research fellow. The environment is excellent. Very dynamic. Every day you have the chance to interact with people smarter than you and learn, which has an excellent educational impact in your skills. I recommend this place for graduates as the last step before getting a job into any industry."

"It was fun working for Gatech."

"I have worked for GaTech for 10 years. It is a very good place to work and you get good fringe benefits."

"It's a good university to study."

"This is my first working experience and it provided me great opportunities to learn not only how to learn but also how to create."

"I've worked for GTRI for about 5 months, and I loved every bit of it. They really allow you to learn at your own pace and understand every bit of what you're learning. There are always peers to learn from and supervisors to help out with anything you need. For any engineer fresh out of college, I would recommend trying out GTRI."

"Best place for engineering students."

"The facility is a little old, but coworkers are pleasant and interested. HR was cooperative and the paperwork was minimal. While the pay was low, the freedom in the position and the relationship with my supervisor compensated for it."
