Avantages
Located downtown. When you leave the building, there are interesting things to see and do.
Inconvénients
Everything else. Before believing the positive reviews written by sniveling, spineless little bootlickers (the company has a number of those, since they try to screen for them in interviews), you should know that several of the founding executives of the company have left in the last several years. They had all been there for 15+ years, and were considered "lifers" who had given their all to the company and put up with unbelievable workloads, accomplishing a great deal. But they're gone now, because the culture has eroded THAT badly. How? Lots of ways, worthy of book-length pursuit of the kind devoted to the forsensic examination of other companies that collapsed, a fate that will be inevitably be shared by GaiaTech. But just in the interest of brevity, they follow a business model of chronic underbidding, followed by panicky, time-wasting meetings about projects going over budget, followed by more panicky meetings to try to convince the customer to pay more, followed by a new project deal and more underbidding and a new cycle. They don't seem to understand that there might be something amiss with this model. The CEO is a living example that good luck can befall anyone, as he makes bad decisions in multiple succession then runs around like a grade-school kid trying to convince his staff to help bail him out. They also assume that employees will work overtime without additional compensation to help them meet their miniscule budgets. It is a business model based on incompetence, on unfounded assumptions, and on shameless handout seeking.
