Former Alstom US controls business going downhill. - Engineer GE Vernova Employee Review

I was acquired by GE (formerly Alstom Power Automation and Controls) in October 2015. Our controls business had been going downhill steadily due to poor sales force and management. I was hoping for a revival with GE and GE management. Unfortunately, they allowed the French management to stay in charge and all but officially killed the ex Alstom controls business in the US, despite several GE folks saying they liked what they saw. My colleagues had a brief opportunity to meet with the Salem, VA operations. They were not impressed. A lot of re-organization and in-fighting going on in the controls business in GE allowing for internal competition between business units and it appears it's only going to get worse. I'm glad they let me go with a severance. Stay away from GE controls. Can't comment on other parts of GE.
