Pros

I was at GE Healthcare for almost 3 years and I liked it very much and was very happy. My 2 managers I had were awesome, but GE is so big that when they lay-off people they are pretty big lay-offs.

Cons

The company thinks about their stock more than they consider their employees. If the company stock is down at the end of the year they lay-off to try to have a good end of year stock value and report, and when GE lays off they do not go by who works the hardest or most devoted employees, they go by seniority. I got caught up a a big layoff, right before Christmas!!! Merry Christmas right?

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
