      Reactive Management demanding Pro-Active Engineering

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1.) The work is challenging and rewarding 2.) Lots of opportunities to continue learning

      Cons

      1.) Poor pay. Management claims to pay market rate, but people leaving the company are getting 20%+ raises. Only after a recent exodus of young engineers did management start to offer salary adjustments, but not to everyone. So the ones who did not receive adjustments remain bitter. 2.) Poor Benefits. Medical Benefits changed to high deductible on short notice. Employees were given less than 2 months notice. People planning families would have to pay significantly more ($10k) for the birth of children. 3.) Hard to climb the ladder unless you have been pre-ordained on fast track. Too many incompetent people on fast track. 4.) Poor communication by leadership. Sometimes it seems like no one is steering the ship. 5.) Individual contributors being micro managed by VP of Engineering, at daily 5PM meetings.

      Pros

      Decent pay and raises besides 2009 when salary was frozen.

      Cons

      Lack of recognition for work done above and beyond what is required. GE is becoming extremely cheap. 3rd Party training/seminars are not promoted outside of the GE lunch sessions or getting a full-fledged advance degree. Technology is behind times. As of this year, even you do decided to pursue an advanced degree you'll be required to pay your tuition back if you leave the company within four years. STAY AWAY FROM ENGINEERING if your an IM/IT professional. Generally I've seen promotions take 2 years longer in this organization than other IT departments.

      Pros

      There is a lot of diversity. At GE there is a much larger proportion of women and racially diverse people as compared to the normal proportion found in engineering.

      Cons

      When I started at GE benefits were very good. However, over the past several years this has changed dramatically. Now (2010), GE benefits are among the worst in the industry (For instance, bearing a child in the hospital with minor complications will cost over $10k out of pocket now with GE's best available Health Choice option). Tuition reimbursement use to have no retention agreement, it now has a 4 year retention agreement. Dental care is reduced, employer contributions to 401k are now lower for new hires, and employees typically work 60-80hr weeks for 40hr pay (no more overtime pay... this has been typical for the past 2 years). Combine the greatly reduced benefits with industry average wages and the net utility an employee receives is uncompetitive. When I started there I was put on a engine program collocated in in the basement of one of the facilities (this is where a large majority of engineers are). These buildings have been flooding for many years and have had issues with mold, but management will not acknowledge the problem (in fact they will even show bogus test results (probably paid off by the company) that show no mold issues). Even when the janitors acknowledge having to clean up mold problems. I can go on for days... what I am saying is that the work environment is horrible (I wouldn't trust that you would get a window seat either as they have been doing for new hires, they just end up in the basement after less then a year somehow). 1) Uncompetitive salary 2) Bad benefits 3) Horrible work environment 4) Unparalleled bureaucracy
