Struggling with it's acquisition

Marketing communications manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great reputation on the outside means job opportunities should be good. Pushes employees to excel - they will take as much as you give, but you are generally rewarded. Great opportunities for growth (if in the right division).

Cons

Growth is dependent on your division. Bigger divisions are very political. Security is struggling to integrate acquisitions and is laying people off. Strategy reviews are more about plugging in numbers, so big thinking is minimal.

Actions taken don't match the promises

Field engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Looks good on a resume, for your next job. There is still respect for the brand, unlike some other American icons as GM. Some programs for new hires are very good.

Cons

Only as good as your last project, pays to get out of your department when the getting is good, i.e. your last project was a success. Top performers are overloaded until their performace degrades to "normal". Very bad at promoting the "best people", management unable to see inverse correlation with performance of who is actually promoted. Too focussed on internal metrics, to the detriment of delivering value to client.

Great for job satisfaction and career oportunitities, but Immelt is screwing up.

Financial controller

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

My role gives me a lot of satisfaction. Allowed to focus on the important few priorities without been rated negatively when the others are neglected. Being a multinational there are great opportunities to relocate around the world and the top performers are not discouraged from doing so. Even though you are worked hard, there is generally an air of positivity and good nature within the teams.

Cons

A lot of uncertainty and lack of job security within some of the business units given Immelt's portfolio management work. Seemingly every week something is sold or trying to be sold. Lack of appetite for giving managers enough people to get stuff done means you are worked hard. Work/Life balance is heavily favored towards work.
