      GE a safe bet in this economy? Please, trust RR and the Brits.

      Pros

      The prestige of the company helps, but not too much, the fact that you work for a 300,000 employee conglomerate filled with 50 year olds and some out-dated managers who haven't seen today's youth at work.

      Cons

      Managers tend not to work with you, as it was for me when I was a component test engineer. Managers run "cells" or areas, where it splits into smaller divisions. In smaller divisions, you work for other more qualified employees who you want to be your manager, since they observe the actual work that you perform. Managers get calls from these employees about your performance, rather than taking a minute to observe the work that you do.

      Once great now mired in mediocrity

      Product support engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The industry is dynamic and crucial: it is a net exporter of hardware and an important source of innovation. Sometimes you get exposed to state-of-the-art developments in several disciplines.

      Cons

      Lack of domain knowledge on part of middle and senior management: too much emphasis on 6-Sigma certification: an emphasis on formalism and disdain for true innovation: a constipated beauracracy interlaced with personal duchies that thrive on a cult of personality. An overwhelming push to outsource and offshore as a first and last resort.

      Mid-Careers think long and hard before joining GE Aviation

      Lead engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you are a college graduate and get accepted into the EEDP program, and are willing to put in the extra hours required to succeed it is a good company to work for

      Cons

      I found that GE Aviation is grossly incompetent at understanding the needs of a mid-career person who is transitioning in to the company. As a mid-level engineer you are expected to perform at the level of native GE mid-careers with little or no allowance to get up to speed. Engineering managers are woefully incompetant at leading people, they simply beat on you to work incredible hours to get the job done with little to no assistance at removing obstacles. My Subsection manager gave me no deliverables when I joined the group, and provided very little direction for the year. He then rated me "least effective," something that 10% of their workforce must be rated. HR has provided very little assistance, and does not seem to be interested in making sure their employees are placed in departments that are a fit with their talents.
