Pros

When I first started at GE Healthcare it was absolutely great. The leading edge in engineering and technical know how. Very intelligent and smart engineering and developers. My direct managers were all very knowledgeable and excellent to work for. That all changed when GE started to crumble from horrendous company management at the top.

Cons

GE had the best and the brightest but that is all changed with a few exceptional direct managers and engineers still left. The company as whole was always cumbersome and slow with process and data control. The tools were many, disconnected, manual, and not fluid making normal easy everyday engineering operations last months. GE still lives in a 2D design world and has no plans to get away from that archaic and obsolete process. The control of source design data is completely overlooked and all they care about to manage is a 2D PDF. The IT departments idea is to throw as many systems as possible no matter how disconnected it becomes. To me it felt like IT wanted more and more databases that would do a little piece of life cycle management just to get more and more of the all mighty budget when done correctly one of the many systems would of done it all and kept it fluid and associated. Beyond direct management and to some extent site leadership GE was ran like garbage. We see it now with GE stock tanking hard on horrid corporate choices.

Pros

Great for gathering experience. Good Work life balance Conflicting personalities does not get you let go like other places.

Cons

Wages for non-union personnel in the Othersal band like all Techs barely keeps up with Union/Assembly Wages. Company values college far more than experience or real accomplishments, a fresh bachelors means more to them for promotions than someone who has saved over ten million dollars.
