Why to the lazy, most unqualified, have no skills people stay at GA the longest? Why isn’t GA capable of getting rid of dead weight instead of attracting and keeping all the dead weight?

Attrition doesn't seem to be slowing down. I have more and more work to do. Now I'm starting to think about leaving myself. How much are you affected by all the people leaving?

If you failed at another place chances are GA will welcome you with open arms! I think this is someone's sarcastic statement, because I know a person who once tried to be rehired and failed even though he was a fantastic employee. Maybe something... —  read more 

Make fun of me all you want…. call me whatever terms you want “lazy”, “d-mb”, whatever it is…but I am starting to miss my time at GA. The work life balance I had there was great and it’s tough to let go.

Could this mean we're safe?

Take your pick! haha Drone design like 1999 but getting shot down everyday. You belong in a museum! hahahah

It used to not be the case here, but now it is. It used to be unthinkable for a person who does almost nothing to be promoted, but now it is actually happening. I'm wondering why? Why did mediocrity and laziness become more valued than hard... —  read more 

The employees did not always try to milk this company as much as they do now. There used to be many people here who really gave 150% of themselves and did their job to the best of their ability. It's not like that anymore. Who is to blame for that?... —  read more 

Some complain that their skills have atrophied here. I don't want to sound provocative, but why do you think that the company is to blame for that and not you?

I've been hearing rumors about possible cuts soon, is this true?

I went on an interview yesterday with another defense company and bombed. I am a high performer at GA and get excellent marks on all my reviews but has no idea what they were asking me at this other defense company. They were shocked I didn’t know... —  read more 

I have been at GA for 2 years and my time has come to an end. I knew I was underpaid but didn’t realize how much. Just locked in a 40% raise and wish I would have left sooner

Are there any left here at all?

It seems that there is hardly anyone here who does not actually do work for 2-3 people?

Anyone have any thoughts on the worst manager at GA?

Software engineer here leaving after 10 months. I have had enough. Zero training, no leadership guidance, mentally draining work spending hours on end in the cold and noisy lab, working on 3 different projects and getting paid like an intern with... —  read more 

There has been a mass exodus from GA, especially at MPEX. Multiple complaints that never reach anyone since management throws people under the bus or pretend it wasn’t that big of a deal. No responsibility what-so-ever. If you’re a woman, don’t work... —  read more 

Coworker quit job after 1 month at GA. This is a record for me although I have heard others quit after 3 weeks. Anyone see anyone quit sooner?

Feeling stagnant is a good sign that it's time to quit. I don't find any room to grow here. You?

Serious question.

GA is a unique company. Many comments concerning work ethic on here are true about employees. But that isn’t the reason I am leaving. The reason I am leaving is better benefits and overall package. And bc of poor management… management does not... —  read more 

Why all the hate? Let’s just get the facts out! GA doesn’t pay the best, GA benefits are below industry standards, retirement is below industry standards and we aren’t leading edge in technology… anyone with logic wouldn’t argue against those... —  read more 

I am curious what are your expectations from the leadership team? I personally do not expect anything from the current leadership. I don't trust them at all.

GA is good at bidding on contracts that no one else wants! When GA is working in its sweet zone it is winning contracts that all the big boys over look. GA will never pay industry wages! GA will never attract or keep quality talent as this is not... —  read more 

There are too many things to criticize but I'm trying to think of what GA is still good at... it's not that easy...

Is it happening?

All hands and Town Hall this week for ASI & EMS both alluded to assessments of salaries to try and help with the attrition challenges. Does anyone know anything more or when they are getting rolled out?

Finally GA gets a break. This is a high visibility project for GA. Hopefully, this goes through, don't see why it wouldn't. This can be a game changer in the war. Business Insider: US to sell drones that can carry Hellfire missiles to Ukraine:... —  read more 

Wrong people aren’t at the top, people aren’t lazy, technology isn’t behind, everything is just right at GA bc GA is a $hitty company…. This is what it all boils down to

I finally got a new offer. What a relief. Wrong people in leading positions have brought GA into this situation. The worst part is that they are so convinced that they are doing a great job. Sometimes I get the feeling that they are totally detached... —  read more 

Our group's manager has not informed this to us. Is remote working only allowed at specific GA sites or for job titles like managers or HR types? With the cost of gas now and s my commute is overstressing my monthly budget. I would like to know more... —  read more 

GA is a great company to work for. Very relaxed environment and generous with deadlines. For how much one really works pay is great 👍…. With all these new contracts in the pipeline hiring looks to be going crazy again… good and bright days ahead!

For as long as this company valued knowledgeable employees, it was nice to work here. What happened in the meantime so GA started creating a culture of mediocrity? I don't know the answer to that question. The only thing I know is that companies... —  read more 

Through d-mb luck, GA was in the right place at the right time for 9/11, because they had the only drone capable of carrying missiles. The company confused being the only game in town with being the “best”, and that early success went to their heads... —  read more 

Is if they transferred all GA HR staff and GA Managers to a far away remote site such as St Louis or Chicago. And don't give these people computers or cellphones so the only way the can communicate with GA people in Calif is through the US mail. ... —  read more 

Wow Linden finally caved in to the attrition rate and is allowing any positions that are capable of being worked remotely to be worked remotely. Will this increase retention or attract candidates to GA?

Anyone tracking new restructuring going in the high desert?

First of all, I am disappointed. Why is it getting harder and harder for GA to get contracts, even smaller ones? What is the reason?

Every week I get an email from someone at GA thanking everyone for their time here and announcing they are leaving the company. Although GA hardly wins contracts anymore, they are not going to have enough employees to work those few contracts at... —  read more
