Gulfstream reviews

Area, morale, and some people. The area is depressing. Poor and uneducated people everywhere. If you are married and your spouse does not work for Gulfstream too, his/her salary is going to be very low compared to other areas. Savannah is nice for a couple of weekends, not to live in. Morale goes down a little bit every time leadership refuses to make a decision based on the clear data available today, and requests yet another trade study for tomorrow. Morale goes down a bit more every time leadership shoots from the hip on something serious because resources are too busy working on the latest chapter of that same old trade study and cannot work on something that is actually important. Ah, and remember the difficult people I mentioned above? You will eventually meet them...

They don't seem to 'get' that they won't get loyalty without getting it. In direct engineering (sustaining) there is a 'give me five' - five hours free program (this was not communicated in my offer). 4-10 work schedule was promised (in writing) then removed the week I got there. 9 months before getting goals...no performance review...no job description. Lots of good people randomly trying to stay busy. As lots of other people have said...middle management SUCKS. The company culture is a lot of backbiting and competing for flashy projects. The people that like Savannah and want to stay will do all in their power to look good. Promotion rate is slow, you have to be completely self motivated to get good projects. People suck. Savannah is hot and boring (unless you are into restaurants and bars). The pay is just so-so now that they eliminated paid overtime. It sucks that they have lost the excitement and culture of designing an airplane and have moved to a big disorganized group of people who are terrified to be laid off. All showmanship and it's beginning to reflect in the product. Lost their passion. Avoid this company until they get their transition figured out.
