Avoid them. - Lead Engineer GE Employee Review

1. Cut throat culture because of the forced ranking system. 2. GE transportation offices in Erie, Pa are absolutely filthy. There are insect droppings and diesel soot all over the office area. 3. The offices are old and decrepit. There is a shortage of office space. Interns and senior engineers are crammed into tiny cubicles called efficiencies. Overall it reminds me of a Bangladeshi garment factory rather than a modern American Corporation 4. I don't understand how OSHA let's them get away with it. 5. Absolutely no empathy towards employees. I know an injured worker who was recovering after surgery with an injured hand and they would not give him work from home or provide flex time. He had to drive 20 miles to work in the Pennsylvania winter using one hand. 6. He was put on a PIP (performance improvement plan) which was simply unachievable and then fired with no severance. 7. Technologically they are way behind their competitors. 8. Absolutely unethical company. The government agencies protect them for the business they bring in. 9. Company future looks bleak. Just look at their stock price performance compared to their peers such as Caterpillar. 10. You can get a better package overall at Caterpillar with half the stress.
