Yes, I have seen a 4.0 taken as a negative sign for people that are overly focused on following the rules. Less common is some people have a GPA limit and will not higher people over it. That limit can be as low as 3.2 in one case.
This more for undergrad as most people are expected to pull a ~3.8-4.0 in grad school making the number meaningless.
PS: On average I suspect it's a net gain for your first job, but adding a GPA after that is likely a larger risk than you might think.
