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

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

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

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

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 

I've been thinking about the reasons why the company is losing contracts. Can the leadership do anything about it, and if so, does it actually intend to do something so that GA doesn't continue losing contracts?

Not that many left our team lately, but unfortunately, the best ones have left already.

According to upper management, GA has a healthy back log, no retention issues, and a bright future. Do they reeeeally think their employees buy that?

A lot of people told me that they experienced cultural shock after they left here and went to another company. I guess after spending years in unhealthy work culture it takes a long time to get used to a culture that is significantly different... — read more
