Pros

High ranking, good students, some colleague professors do high-quality research and are nice to collaborate with.

Cons

The university administration is terribly arrogant, inefficient, and incapable. The university leadership has no vision or strategy. The leadership also promotes back-stabbing environment in the university. Treating professors with no respect. Low academic career growth. The high ranking is mostly due to the size, not the research quality. A big portion of the professors are so called academic dead wood and are not capable of securing extramural funding.

Pros

Great Benefits. That was it

Cons

The pay is egregiously bad. My boss would commonly talk about how teachers are underpaid while unaware that teachers actually make more than financial analysts at Georgia Tech. They have also recently instituted a return to work policy that requires all staff to be back on site 5 days a week. This has led to a lot of turnover and hiring has not kept up from what I've seen leading to overworked employees. In my 2.5 years at tech I realized that the vast majority of people are just trying to run out the clock so they can cash their pension in. This leads to very few motivated workers and it is an easy trap to fall into. Little financial incentives to progress. No end of year bonuses, little annual raises if any at all, and no senior analyst roles mean there are few financial incentives to "try". When I started they had analyst levels 1 through 3 but that abolished and everyone was put under the title of analyst. Overall I would not recommend to anyone unless you are a student looking for expirence.
