Pros

NONE, THEY TREAT EMPLOYEES TERRIBLY AND ARE MANAGING THE BUSINESS THEY ACQUIRED (AMERSHAM) INTO THE GROUND. THE ONLY CONSIDERATION IS THE BOTTOM LINE WITH LITTLE TO NO INTEREST IN INCREASING THE TOP LINE. THEY MANAGE THE BOTTOM LINE BY FIRING COMPETANT PEOPLE AND HIRING INEXPERIENCED INCOMPETANT PEOPLE WITH LOWER SALERIES. THEY ALSO SET UNREALISTIC TARGETS SO LITTLE TO NO COMMISSION IS PAID OUT TO THE RESPS.

Cons

THERE IS LITTLE TO NO RESPECT FOR EMPLOYEES. HR IS WORTHLESS AND SENIOR MANAGMENT CORRUPT. PEOPLE WHO SPENT 20-30 YEARS BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS (PHARMACIA) HAVE BEEN FIRED OR DRIVEN OUT. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE INDUSTRY WHO DO NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS.

Pros

Great products, easy to be proud of what the company makes.

Cons

Irony: a healthcare company with the most expensive health care benefits in the industry. Some senior leaders are neurotic. My own manager was set up to fail by their senior executive manager, who quickly became known for scapegoating employees to deflect criticism. That exec is still there.

Pros

Interesting products (medical imaging systems) and a lot of smart people to learn from.

Cons

GE Healthcare is a large company that suffers from many of the issues typical of large companies. Some specific cons: 1) frequent reorganization / restructuring, 2) lack of visibility into other departments / groups and what work they are doing, 3) significant amount of technical debt, 4) a lot of roles and the scope of the associated work is not well defined ("who owns what"), 4) a disproportionate amount of work and resources devoted to processes rather than work that would actually move products / services forward (e.g. meetings, discussion, flowcharts, etc. on how to reduce time in meetings), 5) the compensation is actually quite low / poor for the size of the company and the skill of the employees (many of the employees could be compensated at a higher rate at a different employer), 6) for promotions, "how things look" is more important than the work actually being done; for example, talking a lot, especially to senior staff, is more likely to result in promotion than solving problems, especially if they are technical problems.
