      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is still considered to be a resume builder to work at The General Electric Co but that value is diminishing daily.

      Cons

      It is too massive. The benefits are reserved for the very top. And even my boss felt like a number. Worst of all, my stock is worth half of what I paid for it.

      Highly Competent People, Gap between Leaders and Employees

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong ethics background. People are very capable and competent. Follow leadership direction. Huge strength in organization and backing. Excellent training and development. Working on organization simplification, again. Don't track vacation, personal time, or sick time.

      Cons

      Quarterly driven, rather than focus on long term sustaining strategy. Lost discipline with Lean and Six Sigma, and Quality programs. Arrogance displayed with customers and suppliers. Employees are disposable. Complicated Matrix Organization. Functionally driven. No root-cause analysis for fact based decisions. Problems are unacceptable if not presented with immediate solution. Tough to leave if you are well compensated compared to external market. Benefits package has deteriorated, including medical and retirement. Metrics driven and must work lots of hours, with high stress.
