Pros
Just left my post at GEH after being there for the last 4 years. The nuclear renaissance was headline 4 years ago and now due to the economic crisis, things are a lot quieter and opportunities lost, not to mention due to budget shortfall in late'08, early '09, the many layoffs presented to the myriad contractors. Although the company has so far upkept their promise not to layoff direct hires and only few were let go during the eonomic storm. I left for reasons of project stalemate and lost opportunities due to budget cut. Communication from the top is just like other places where it's never sufficient, people were often left in the dark except the once-a-quarter "Employee Mtg" where employees are briefed about the financial outlook and status of the company in general. You're certainly free to go to your supervisor if you're curious to find out about statuses more frequently than the Qtrly meetings, but depending on whom you ask, they may not know much more than you do. Health benefits is top notch, this I realize after going to another company. There're plenty of internal email memos from Corp. about work-balance seminars to attend and other benefits info, so I think on this front GEH and GE in general are doing fairly well. Overall, I have a fairly positive remarks for the company for it's a great company to have graduated from and appear on your resume, as far as the communication, work environment and the impasse in nuclear industry, that's prevalent in the industry so GEH is not alone to be blamed. I would recommend people to work for GEH.
Cons
large company mentality lack of motivation to get things done lack of communication from atop
