Pros

Good pay for interns and I'm guessing other positions

Cons

The company leads with fear. All employees walk around like they are going to be fired at the drop of a hat. The company may be leading the industry in aircraft development, but the company is totally stagnant in all other aspects. A depressing atmosphere to be in especially as an intern. I've witnessed the teary goodbyes from the December RIF and I watched all the employees herd into the hangar to be slaughtered once again in June. I'm young and have my life ahead of me and I'm SO glad I won't be at Gulfstream.

Stay Away - Sinking Ship

Pros

It was a great place to be under some of the best upper management in the business until a couple of years ago.

Cons

All hands meetings saying they will lay off 1000s weeks before Christmas and then they walked it back and said they weren't going to lay off more than a couple hundred. Then HR held panels to ask employees how they could undo the damage they did before Christmas and retain employees. A week later they hold All hands meetings saying they are going to offer 3600 voluntary separation - 1/3 of the workforce. So stay away. This ship is going down and has lost its way. Other problems include living in Savannah - extremely high violent crime - extremely bad schools - and forget your spouse/partner ever being able to get gainful employment if they are a professional also. Don't bank on 2 salaries and if you were used to that, you are in for a lot of pain. Even worse, if you buy property, you are stuck in a stagnant housing market where you may not ever sell your house if you want to leave. You may never be able to buy a house again. Racism, misogyny, xenophobia and bigotry are all alive and well in Savannah and outsider are not welcomed. You might do well at the office, but think of your wife and kids if you have a family.

Pros

The people are all very nice- Savannah is a nice city- Corporate housing is nice- Other interns are smart- Some interns get cool projects-

Cons

Lack of leadership- Employees are scared to talk to management about beneficial process changes- Good amount of unmotivated employees in crucial positions - Take on way more interns than they actually need- Engineer interns tend to be uppity and hard to socialize with- Lots of "he said she said" talk around the office- Hourly salary isn't competitive with other companies-
