Pros

Good pay for the area, 4/10 schedule, a small bonus twice a year, they make a highly regarded aircraft, lots of change which is ok if you can handle it.

Cons

Grew too fast, promoted terrible managers who don't listen and implement bad policies that only benefit them. Don't allow you to bring in outside knowledge or ways to improve. The company has tried several times to be "Top 100 places to work" but has failed miserably each time. Felt like I lost knowledge instead of gained it here.

Big corporate politics at times. Some people just love to point fingers. Rules that are very excessive due to incompetence, instead of just firing morons.

Pros

Gulfstream is a good company, I would come back to it. Can be a fantastic work life balance. PTO and benefits are decent. Can be an excellent career builder if you have connections and play your cards right. They can pay for your masters. Self-starters are rewarded and recognized,

Cons

-Ultimately, your experience heavily depends on your specific group—and some can be incredibly profane and toxic. If you are trying to implement an improvement but it doesn't agree with leadership, you can be harassed. -You might find yourself fourth in a long line for a position that only opens once a year; many jobs already have a person picked before they are ever posted. This isn't new information.
