Pros

Hybrid / Remote Schedule 401k Match Bonus Plan

Cons

This varies by org but GE used to be awesome but has rapidly declined in the last 2 years. If you work in the Science and Technology Org (STO), expect to have no work life balance and constant stress and uncertainty about your job. STO is composed mostly of former Amazon employees who have brought the Amazon toxic backstabbing over. I’m a former AWS employee and it is literally like I work at Amazon again for lower pay and worse engineers. The leadership is currently hacing a power struggle with insane demands to automate and offshore everything. No one on the teams has healthcare experience and can’t figure out why we keep delivering product after product that goes nowhere.. Executives spend all their time trying to perform for other executives to prove how smart they are on pointless busy work.

Pros

-a lot of smart and talented people work here -reasonable pay and benefits -nice coworkers -some remote work opportunities, albeit decreasing over time

Cons

-mixed leadership - some good leaders, some terrible ones -ridiculously onerous processes - their QMS system is ludicrously conservative and involves literally hundreds of documents to make one product -sourcing takes 10x longer than it should -tolerance of poor performers and way too high a bar to get rid of them -bad annual raises - often lower than inflation these past few years - and weakly based on personal performance
