General Atomics Reviews
What is it like working at General Atomics?
Administrative / Office Manager in San Diego:
I love working for this company! Been here over 8 years. Great pay, benefits, locations. My management has a hands off attitude when it comes to my position. He set the bar high and we all strive to keep at that level. Very high functioning team. I love being part of an exciting project that could help the trajectory of fusion energy.
Not Bad, Not Great.
Software Developer in Coronado:
Pros: Flexible hours, good benefits, job security, my work feels valued.
Cons: Projects I work on are boring. Way too much bureaucracy and red tape. Lots of inefficiency and technical debt that upper management will not address. Depending on your group you can be 5 to 10 years behind the times in software development.
Meaningful Work.
Mechanical Engineer in San Diego:
Pros: Take on many responsibilities with Autonomy. Working in R&D to solve a worldwide multigenerational problem - abundant, clean energy production. Highly technical and challenging, with appropriate support from incredibly brilliant and experienced colleagues who are eager to help.
Work is recognized not only through fair compensation, but also through positive daily interactions with peers, managers, and support staff. Core working hours are generally consistent and predictable, with some in-frequent voluntary long hours as needed. Managers are flexible about planned time off, and occasional unscheduled personal time for kids, errands, etc. Limited travel so good for family.
Great health benefits and job security.
Cons: PTO for 1st year is lower than previous jobs and ramps up slowly. 401k match is not fully vested for 5 years.
No OT and incentive pay (bonus) is not as transparent as previous jobs.
Interesting, Good Experience, but Stressful.
Business Systems Analyst in San Diego:
Pros: Interacting with the business and my peers
Cons: Some managers don't think about work loads. If you're not careful then you'll be asked to do more work than you can do in 40-45 hours a week. Also, salaried job but expected to work 40+ hours with given workloads. (It varies, I've seen others with lower workloads).
