Pros

You got an hour lunch and free coffee. Thats about it.

Cons

So Gaf hired me through a Contractor. I was suppose to get $X an hour and Health Insurance. When it was time to get health insurance (It was a big secret) I could use it twice in 1 year and after that I had to pay out of pocket. That is not health insurance to me. I was jammed up becuase one of my children was sick. I could not go around and not have health insurance for my sick child. So I talked to the people at GAF they knew I was desperate for health coverage. They decided to be slimey and make me an offer that was $15k less then I was currently making. The excuse was that I get 401k and would be eligable for a yearly bonus. As far a: I am concerned you can not really figure that as compensation. They can not say anything about my work because it was excelent. It was so good that they tried to hire me fulltime. The whole thing with them offering me $15k less then I was making is very slimey to me. The day before they made me this offer they had reports come out with record profits for the year. ( I did the live stream I know) If I was offered a job as a contractor here I would not take it. If you do take it keep looking for another job and quit GAF after. Dont let these people play you. They will respond with something like "We are really concerned blah blah blah" They are not concerned they knownwhat they are doing. They keep doing it over and over.

Pros

Great company with supportive and talented people, an excellent work/life balance, and a positive culture. I truly enjoyed my time there and will miss it, I really loved working at this company.

Cons

Some processes and team structures could benefit from further modernization, particularly in expanding Agile adoption compared to leading IT organizations.

Pros

Cafeteria food is decent and the building is nice

Cons

This place has really gone in the gutter over the years, hard to see how it will turn around. If you’re thinking about joining, the industry is Good but I’d stay far far away from GAF
