Pros

Private medical insurance, Free decent tea/coffee (when they management want to pay for it)

Cons

Lots of false promises Very Americanised culture (Aka be grateful you have a job, don't complain, do as you're told now and treated like utter dirt) Free milk for tea/coffee often get's axed, blamed on the shop floor for using it in their cereals when it's actually the office staff having loads of drinks Management heavy, MD for Farnborough doesn't even know why it's called the "shop floor" despite being an engineer for 20 years! HR are about as useful as a chocolate teapot, can't do anything properly Lots of clicky groups, backstabbers and people on power trips! Lots of nonsense about clocking in/out, when you can go home, work is sporadic either too busy or not enough so you're standing around for 12 hours straight.

Pros

-Work in an air conditioned hangar! -All the tools and support needed to do the job -Excellent training available -Good safety culture -Fairly easy work -Lots of opportunities to grow

Cons

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.
