Not a healthy company to work for

Engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Reasonable salary and benefits, occasional work from home opportunities

Cons

Horrible management. Untrustworthy. NOT LGBT friendly despite ranking on the CEI list. Perhaps at the executive level but not enforced below that. Bigoted, narrow-minded, prejudicial and highly homophobic. ZERO job security these days

Business Outlook

Pros

In my experience GE is so large that it really isn't 1 company. I experience my field service district as if I work for a $15M business, not a $100MM. I have a great manager who took over from a very long term great manager. As a result our district has high morale and excellent production.

Cons

We will only be with GE another month or so as our division has been sold to raise cash to deal with corporate's giant mess. Apparently manufacturing, selling and servicing large electrical equipment is not part of GE's "core business". They are a software company in case you haven't heard. (Thomas Edison facepalm)
