Pros

GE in general is a great company to work for. Being a multi-national conglomerate, opportunities abound. I do believe that GE is driving innovation throughout all products and segments. Healthcare is broad and deep, from biopharmaceuticals to imaging, cardiolgy, monitoring devices to healthcare IT. I honestly belive that GE Healthcare is "at work for a healthier world". I also like the potential opportunity to move to other areas in GE, however it does seem that the only people who actually move from Plastics to Healthcare or Healthcare to Aviation are the "legacy GE leaders" - those individuals who started with GE and have moved up through the ranks. It seems harder for those of us who were "acquired" as a result of mergers and acquisitions.

Cons

Although I am proud to say I work for GE and GE Healthcare, I am very disappointed with the direction that GE has taken with some of Healthcare IT solutions, particularly the perinatal and acute care EMR solutions. It seems that GE understands hardware very well and software not so well. A lot of the processes for developing and implementing software are adopted from hardware businesses and don't always fit. A piece of advise -if you are looking into getting in with GE Healthcare, don't do it through Seattle.
