GE Aerospace reviews

sometimes feel like you're a cog in the wheel and don't have much impact. also their big thing is green belts/black belts who take jobs for 1.5 to 2 years and then move on, trying their best to look good in the short term with no concern for the future of their decisions. 10% of the lowest ranked employees, no matter how good they are, are told they stink and get their raises frozen.

- No matter how much they claim otherwise, you will have no work / life balance at all. 60 hour work weeks are pretty common. Hours vary depending on whether or not you have a telecon with your outsourced counterparts in India, Mexico, Poland, Turkey or China. Be prepared to work a lot of unpaid "casual overtime". - Even though many experts have said it's old and slow to adapt to changes; Six Sigma is such an entrenched bureaucracy at GE, it will never leave. As a consequence, you'll spend about 25% of your time on Six Sigma projects that have little or no benefit. - Most of the offices at the main plant are horrible. One office I worked in had a problem with flooding and black mold. Another one had a problem with rats. I never had allergies before working at GE. Now I'm constantly sneezing and get a sinus infection about once a month. - Like a lot of businesses in America right now, the leadership just plain stinks. Jeff Immelt gives flowery speeches about things like renewing GE's investment in America but the company rarely follows through with them. As an employee, I want to believe what the leaderships says but they haven't given us a reason to believe lately.
