Pros

GE and GE Healthcare prioritizes quality, compliance and integrity. It is clear to me what my first priority is. Additionally, GE invests and grows strong performers, enabling a steady career growth and sense of stability and security. Finally, GE knows its customers and the healthcare industry. The products are topline and it is rewarding to know that I am playing small part in the continuous improvement of our global healthcare systems.

Cons

Headcount is an amazingly important metric at GE Healthcare. Adhering to an OP, a budget should take precedence, but doesn't. And managing to an arbitrary headcount number incents costly decisions. Headcount decisions should be delegated and leaders/managers should be held accountable for these decisions.

Pros

Talented co-workers and interesting products. GE Healthcare hires the best engineers and provides top-notch equipment. The products are high-tech medical imaging equipment. It is very satisfying to describe to friends and neighbors how you are working on state-of-the-art medical equipment.

Cons

Management is paralized with indecisiveness. Mid-level managers are afraid to say no or push back. Although the healthcare products are high-tech, there is extreme aversion to adopting new technologies. Most enigneers have to work with off-the-shelf existing technologies. Limited advancement opportunities on the so-called technical career path. If you want to make $$$, you must become a manager.

Pros

- You get to travel if you want to - Stable company with big portofolio. Will still be around tomorrow - Performance is rewarded (at least in theory)

Cons

- Constant competition rather than cooperation with other teams within the company - GE keeps on buying additional companies because it fails to grow 'organically' and looks no further than the next quarterly figures. - Burocracy: a lot of time and effort lost on useless trainings and procedures - Little innovation. Focus on maintenance existing products, rather than the next generation - Internal e-mails and self-promotional meterial is always full of slogans promoting the 'GE' values and virtues. But they are entirely empty: they promote the same values at their military production sites as in the Healthcare business.
