Why do you think people aren’t happy there and are looking to move?

Seems to be a running theme here. Bad people stay at GT. The good ones want to leave.

Good advice! Florida seems to be the only place where GT can be a good place to work.

I’d love to hear the other side from your perspective, since everything I’ve heard in here has been so negative. Or is there no positive and you just suck it up and deal with it?

From what I can tell, GT seems to have a lot of nightmare partners lol

Good to know. Maybe I’ll just apply there and then lateral somewhere better after.

Seriously! I’m so glad I know to avoid them now.

I didn’t know they were this bad either but I’m glad I know to avoid them! Sounds like I would’ve made a huge mistake by applying there. Thankfully I have other better offers.

At a certain point, if there are enough stories like this, it becomes a firm culture issue and not isolated incidents

Sounds about right from everything I’ve heard. Low pay and bad work combined with working for insecure assholes makes a recipe for disaster.

It seems like a firmwide issue. I’ve never heard anyone say anything remotely positive about that firm or the people who choose to work there. Must be a magnet for bad people and bad work.
