None, no advancement. STAY CLEAR! Read CONS!

Cons

You must have blinders on to work here. You must do what your are told. You can not have a voice, or they will create a false narrative and have you fired. I was an advocate for every GE employee and I was fired because of it. Tim G, created a fake report of hearsay. No verbal warning, no written warning, just suspension. I raised a retaliation concern with corporate but they too, are corrupt. Such a shame that Larry Culps mission statement in ignored. Just the opposite. They encourage retaliation to the fullest. - Do not work for GE ever, save yourself from disappointment. They will never side with you and if you're a threat, (Which I was) they will keep you from moving up in the company. They will try every which way to keep you down. Hourly Employees work their butts off, with zero bonuses. The PB band and up gets a bonus from the hourly employees hard work, which is not fair. I tried to get bonuses for us, but they saw me as a threat. Also Safety is not first with GE. They will take months to fix a problem that causes harm to the hourly employees. One when to the hospital. Their motto is, if its costs money do not fix it. It has been proven over and over that this is the case. Also, do not use Yammer. Its a GE forum of every single employee and my posts became legendary. They saw me as a whistle blower and needed me gone. They found a way, illegally. Unjustified termination; with a false narrative. I started at $22hr in 2019, ended @ $25.37 2023. About $0.84 cents a year average. Things not to do 1. Talk / speak your mind. 2. Report safety concerns to the Ombudsman. 3. Post on yammer when you do not get answers from your site. 4. Do not work for GE, there are MUCH higher paying jobs than GE. They give pennies for raises. $0.57 cents, $0.14 cents.

Pros

The engineers who work hard and take themselves seriously are still working here and are great to collaborate with and solve problems. The projects are interesting, as long as your manager is considering your interests and career path. There are ample opportunities in commercial and military, with the commercial being more of a remote/Teams environment and military being more in person. Bonus structure is strong, 15%. Incentive pay for coming to work. Work life balance mostly depends on the job you sign up for.

Cons

Managers may not have come up through the engineering ranks and so they may not understand us. They focus more on process, like Flight Deck, than having actual knowledge to solve problems. The technical expertise in the sub section and especially section level has gone down in the last 5-10 years. This less technical management class seems to be impacting engineering turnover among the IC’s. Additionally, constant pivots, often due to inconsistent funding, also decrease morale. Lastly, it’s possible your manager doesn’t care as much about your career as they do just getting tasks done / covering the bases. Basically non-existent health care (very high premium and deductible for larger families). Biased hiring through Next Engineers.
