GE Aerospace reviews

I found that GE Aviation is grossly incompetent at understanding the needs of a mid-career person who is transitioning in to the company. As a mid-level engineer you are expected to perform at the level of native GE mid-careers with little or no allowance to get up to speed. Engineering managers are woefully incompetant at leading people, they simply beat on you to work incredible hours to get the job done with little to no assistance at removing obstacles. My Subsection manager gave me no deliverables when I joined the group, and provided very little direction for the year. He then rated me "least effective," something that 10% of their workforce must be rated. HR has provided very little assistance, and does not seem to be interested in making sure their employees are placed in departments that are a fit with their talents.

Company is adding engineering talent and some of the more honest, spot-on reviews are being buried on Glassdoor. Many that I worked with seemed to dislike their job. Contractors are treated like excrement throughout the organization, for some reason they're good enough to string along as contractors but not good enough to become full time. You'll be lead to believe that you'll eventually become a GE employee but the odds of that happening are unlikely. They run their engineers into the ground.
