Pros

Interesting products in medical systems with many knowledgeable colleagues to learn from.

Cons

GE Healthcare faces many cultural challenges in growing, rewarding and retaining internal talent. Some of those are: 1. Frequent reorganizations and restructuring efforts. 2. Limited visibility into the work of other departments or groups. 3. High levels of technical debt that can slow down progress. 4. Ambiguous role definitions and unclear ownership of responsibilities. 5. Significant resources spent on processes over actual product/service advancements (e.g., too many useless meetings, discussions, and flowcharts aimed at process improvement). 6. Compensation is relatively low for amount of work done. Many employees could potentially earn more elsewhere. 7. Promotion practices favor appearances over tangible work outcomes. 8. Middle management incentives focus on maximizing output rather than fostering employee growth and retention, resulting in poor work-life balance practices and a toxic work environment.

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
