Pros

There are no pros to working at GAF.

Cons

Where do I start? Since GAF corporate HR trolls Glassdoor to find and root out the ones which would shed light on the truth about their toxic company culture to silence them and then manufacture (pun intended) ways to discipline or terminate them, I will have to reveal as little as possible about myself since I'm a current employee. I'm searching for other opportunities, and I know MULTIPLE colleagues are doing the same. I'm in HR, and morale is low among MANY human resources professionals. Many veteran HR talents have left. Talent Acquisition is freaking out because the company reviews here on GlassDoor are horrible and, surprise, prospective talent reads these reviews. Employee engagement surveys have been postponed multiple times, but even if we eventually have them, there will be no accountability for anyone at the corporate level. The toxic culture will be blamed on the manufacturing locations. I literally laugh every time someone mentions GAF's corporate values: Empower, Evolve, Connect, and Inspire. They must not apply to directors or above! Not a single one of them are embodied by leadership and just when I think it can't get any worse, it does! However, until I get another job, I'm here as GAF just sucks more life out of me. Before I go, let me just vomit a bit over the HR Bi-Weekly meeting. It's embarrassing. It's an orgy of insincere accolades where everyone has to turn their camera on and smile and cheer. I wouldn't be surprised if someone dropped in and tried to start selling Plexxus! That's the vibe it has. If you're considering GAF, whether you be an HR profession, engineer, or in operations, run, don't walk, as fast as you can away from this company.

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.
