      GE Aviation Grand Rapids, if want a great place to raise a family, Grand Rapids is it!

      Pros

      The Grand Rapids location, is a good place for new/young engineers because they could learn some good processes. Most of the employees, NON-management, are very good and can teach you a lot! Grand Rapids is an excellent place to live, especially for families! The engineers who do the actual work, do the best they possibly can and take pride in what they do. The lab staff is excellent and they are very willing to help you with problems. There is great potential at Grand Rapids but they need to get management out of the way.

      Cons

      At Grand Rapids, management cannot schedule projects! They then blame it on the employees for not meeting unrealistic schedules and cost! The Grand Rapids location is having a tough time letting go of the old Smiths way of doing things and accepting the GE way. This group does not will a lot of contracts compared to other aerospace/aviation firms.

      We brought good things to life. (Then six sigma killed the initiative.)

      Pros

      GE is a large company run much like a collection of small business. In theory, the diverse spread of GE businesses should make it relatively immune from the ups and downs of any particular market, however since Jack Welsh left, that does not seem to be the case. Aviation is a high tech business and the split between commercial and military programs again should offer protection from short term ups and downs. GE still offers competitive salaries.

      Cons

      In the past 30+ years, it is my opinion that the company has been going down hill. There is too much emphesis on politics and meeting short term (and short sighted) initiatives and not enough emphesis on long term experience, performace and loyalty. EVERYTHING is measured, primarily through obsolete Six Sigma methodology. (Six Sigma worked fine for ten years, but there is only so much water you can squeeze from a rock.) You can expect a good paying job that will have intense pressure and measurments that you probably can't meet. Loyalty is no longer appreciated. I've been there over 30 years, but if you're just starting out, you won't come anywhere close to that.
