Business Outlook
Pros
The people there are great. People are very helpful and friendly. The career development opportunities are plenty as long as you have a plan for yourself instead of waiting for others to plan it for you. The location is good, too. Charlottesville is a quite and beautiful town, where University of Virginia is located. GE has great benefits such as tuition reimbursement. Many employees are taking courses from UVa.
Cons
When the economy is down, the business starts to treat employees as numbers. Cut off around 30~40% of engineers from 2008 to 2010. Used laying off employees to pay for the losses caused by the bad management and bad project planning.
