Corporate Greed over Customer Safety

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The cons far outweigh any of the pros.

Cons

Gulfstream is cutting corners when it comes to product development and customer Safety. Gulfstream is more focused on profits than the quality for customer and safety. Poor leadership has turned a blind eye to not training and developing employees after several rounds of layoffs to meet quarterly numbers. Even with massive layoffs in the quarter, the company will still post huge profits for that same quarter. The leadership is a good old boys club and totally out of focus with building the best and safest products for customers. This requires a commitment to training and improving the culture to make this happen. Corporate greed has turned into a cancer for Gulfstream and will eventually come home to roost.

Great pay and benefits; unrealistic deadlines and stress; possible future layoffs

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is usually the best compared to majority of companies. Sometimes, even overtime is paid (as straight time) for exempt employees! Benefits are pretty good too (in paper): such as 4-10 work weeks, separate sick days (which Gulfstream calls PTO, and is separate from vacation), 6% match for 401k, etc. Having a Chick-fil-a and cafeteria in the main campus is good. Aircraft launch events and family day are pretty elaborate.

Cons

Both sales and upper management set very unrealistic deadlines for engineers, thus creating a lot of stress, potential for errors and eliminating the benefits such as Friday offs. Employees (even new ones) are asked by middle and lower management, who get pressure from upper management, to work around 55 hours/week (which is still not enough for the deadlines presented). While Gulfstream is on a massive hiring drive to solve this issue, this could also mean massive layoffs once the brunt of the work is done: this has happened before. Micromanagement seems to be inevitable as a result of aggressive deadlines. The promise of good work-life balance is slowly fading away.
