Pros

GE in general is a great company to work for. Being a multi-national conglomerate, opportunities abound. I do believe that GE is driving innovation throughout all products and segments. Healthcare is broad and deep, from biopharmaceuticals to imaging, cardiolgy, monitoring devices to healthcare IT. I honestly belive that GE Healthcare is "at work for a healthier world". I also like the potential opportunity to move to other areas in GE, however it does seem that the only people who actually move from Plastics to Healthcare or Healthcare to Aviation are the "legacy GE leaders" - those individuals who started with GE and have moved up through the ranks. It seems harder for those of us who were "acquired" as a result of mergers and acquisitions.

Cons

Although I am proud to say I work for GE and GE Healthcare, I am very disappointed with the direction that GE has taken with some of Healthcare IT solutions, particularly the perinatal and acute care EMR solutions. It seems that GE understands hardware very well and software not so well. A lot of the processes for developing and implementing software are adopted from hardware businesses and don't always fit. A piece of advise -if you are looking into getting in with GE Healthcare, don't do it through Seattle.

Pros

Cool project, that was it honestly. The bad outweighed the good.

Cons

DO NOT WORK HERE Not an emotionally or psychologically safe work environment. Toxic, dysfunctional, retaliatory culture with institutionalized gaslighting. The company is all about optics and theater. Whatever values or capital letter 'C' care they have in their name means nothing. Leadership's promises about respectful workplaces are lies. HR's claims about protections are also lies. GEHC cannot hold anyone accountable or create a culture where employees thrive. They think multi-million dollar campus renovations will fix cultural rot while C-suite leadership remains incompetent. Management engages in hostile behavior including: berating of employees behind closed doors, manipulating performance reviews as retaliation tools, making baseless accusations in closed-door meetings, and fabricating claims to coerce compliance. Reporting these issues with hard evidence results in the victim being pushed out while Management faces zero consequences. No accountability for management. No protections for employees. Paid 50% below market. Experienced employees can't afford homes. Wages are not competitive and haven't kept pace with cost of living. Everyone is grossly underpaid. Forced hybrid creates 90+ minute commutes from Milwaukee to Waukesha with minimal on-site value and poor information sharing. Everyone was miserable and a push to 5 days on-site will make it worse. LGBTQ+ employees: avoid this place. Not inclusive. Saw too many queer colleagues struggle and leave.
