GE Aerospace reviews

- No matter how much they claim otherwise, you will have no work / life balance at all. 60 hour work weeks are pretty common. Hours vary depending on whether or not you have a telecon with your outsourced counterparts in India, Mexico, Poland, Turkey or China. Be prepared to work a lot of unpaid "casual overtime". - Even though many experts have said it's old and slow to adapt to changes; Six Sigma is such an entrenched bureaucracy at GE, it will never leave. As a consequence, you'll spend about 25% of your time on Six Sigma projects that have little or no benefit. - Most of the offices at the main plant are horrible. One office I worked in had a problem with flooding and black mold. Another one had a problem with rats. I never had allergies before working at GE. Now I'm constantly sneezing and get a sinus infection about once a month. - Like a lot of businesses in America right now, the leadership just plain stinks. Jeff Immelt gives flowery speeches about things like renewing GE's investment in America but the company rarely follows through with them. As an employee, I want to believe what the leaderships says but they haven't given us a reason to believe lately.

Poor leadership - my leaders lead by fear instead of being pleasant. Employees who value their time with their children are looked down upon. Managers are constantly trying to weigh out who they are competing with for the next promotion. Upper management is noticing that many employees are leaving, but they can't figure out why and employees are too scared to let them know. Employees who question management are immediately pegged as "incapable of performing their jobs". I thought that GE would be a good choice, I thought they encouraged a good work/life balance from their marketing - but that was all marketing. I wish I could go back in time and turn down their job offers and take one of my other offers.
