GE Aerospace reviews

GE has become, at its soul, a finance company. There is nothing more important here than managing the quarterly results. Nobody does "cost out" better than GE. Cost out of salaries, cost out of health insurance, cost out of office space. If you like the spartan life, you will be a good fit

- Corporate leadership views engineers as "easily replaceable", as though high-tech knowledge and experience can be easily replaced - Since the control of GE Aviation moved to Corporate Headquarters, GE Aviation's innovation and culture has changed...for the worst: Like many have stated, GE Aviation: - increased its management layers; too many chiefs, not enough people to do the work - has too many metrics and many that cause more harm than good, like creating an environment where leaders are more worried about meeting their short-term goals, while forgetting about and/or not even considering long-term implications - leadership is short-cited (see above); "if we don't see the payoff right now, forget about it" mentality. results in missed opportunities later on - seems to have forgotten the importance of taking care of its customers - not diverse regarding work styles - Forced ranking system outdated, demoralizing, and creates a very competitive vs. collaborative work environment: it made sense when they had 35,000 employees, but now they have too few people to do the work, and it's known that hiring and training a new employee costs more than working with your current employees - Pay is "competitive" (meaning average), but the expectations are very high
