Job stability is strong at Netjets given Warren Buffett's involvement. Sounds like profits are up too lately.
Don't expect an easy schedule with few legs and long layovers like you may see in corporate jobs. Seems like the pilots are working a lot harder these days. The pilots I know there are working hard on their fleets and min-rest layovers are very common. Sounds like the Phenom, XL, Sovereign, Latitude and CL350 fleets are in high demand and thus very hard working...

The only thing NetJets has going for it over a "normal" corporate job is the ability to live just about anywhere and a fixed schedule. I was in one of the first groups to interview once the window opened back up, and I didn't get the job. I was highly disappointed at the time cause I was at a ****ty charter job, but both of the jobs I've moved on to since then have blown EJA out of the water with just about everything.
Did they say why you weren't hired or do you have a clue on why you was not hired?

I have an interview scheduled next month. During the phone interview, I was advised that all the new hires are going into the Latitude. Majority of the previous post referred to the phenom for the new hires. Which one is the better of the two?

They did not say why I wasn't hired. I do know that it wasn't my best interview effort ever, thanks to the people in the room next to me throwing a techno music rave at midnight.

The major problem is movement, or lack there of. Guys hired 10 years ago will be furloughed if they decided to put 200 guys on the street. There are smarter stability plays in the industry.

Indeed. When I was hired, they said I'd be a captain in about three years. Eleven years later, I was 85% of the way down the seniority list.
There are a lot of people who want to get out of smaller fleets and into that comfortable Latitude. I'd fully expect to be hired into the Phenom 300.

Not to be forgotten, it might be the most uncomfortable plane capable of doing 5 hours ever made.
