Eroding Work/Life balance, Too Many Chiefs, Poor Values
Pros
Excellent Compensation. And truthfully, Gulfstream hires some of the most talented and motivated employees anywhere in the industry. Most of the non-manager personnel are a joy to work with.
Cons
Contractors are treated so poorly here. Gulfstream uses contractors as a buffer to it's directly hired workforce. Expect insane hours and demands, and then to be fired (RIF'd) at the drop of the hat. Work Life balance took a hard hit recently. Effective on January 1, 2016 all business units will move from 4x10 workweek to 5x8 workweek. If recruiters are selling you on work/life balance then one should question that strongly. Dishonesty, Misinformation, and other forms of ridiculousness abound here. I feel like there are so many levels of underdeveloped, under-utilized, and un-encouraged talent here.
