Lead project engineer/technologist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The projects and work scope. Many of people and managers are knowledgable. The product is high-tech for its class. The pay is good. The vacations are good and easy to take off. Lots of personal days and sick days available. Good set of Holidays. Lots of extra GE Volunteer activities. Encouraged to be involved in the Infinity Groups and activities. Lots of chances to meet upper management during the Infinity Group acitivities.

Cons

Very competitive to the point of everyone for themselves... no sense of team-spirit... no sense of company pride. The people are cruel and back-stabbing. Even when managers and HR are aware of it, they do not address it. They just let it go on and say that it's the culture of the company and that they forgot how hard it is for new people coming in.

GE: Great place to have workED.

Audit manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Breadth of experience. Benefits. Ability to have many jobs and stay in the same company. Leadership given to those who are young and talented to see whether they can sink or swim. Allows talent to be recognized earlier. Great processes & knowledge sharing across businesses. Culture of growth and learning. Change is constant. People are typically very helpful.

Cons

Compensation can be below industry for experience level. Company asks a lot of you which requires personal sacrifices to get ahead. Poor examples in management to follow for work/life balance. Politics is present during promotions and diversity metrics drive decision making behind the scenes.
