Pros

If GE Healthcare were to follow its own internal review process (EMS) and were stacked against other leading technology companies, it would lag behind. Pros Good set of benefits. Flexible work hours.

Cons

Salary increases fall behind the rate of inflation. EMS process is antiquated, unfair, and can be gamed. It usually is more about who likes you than what you accomplish. Even though they perform reorgs constantly, there are still too many managers as compared to individual contributors. They keep trying to remove management grids but fail to do so.

Pros

Lots of growth opportunity, average pay, average benefits. Some managers are very good, and a lot of people really want to do a good job and make quality medical equipment.

Cons

leadership vision is limited by quarterly earnings. Leadership consistently makes very poor management decisions in order to make quarterly numbers, even though it may cost millions next year to make up for it. Lay offs and turn over have forced far too much work on too few remaining people, and quality has suffered dramatically as a result. Focus on shifting work overseas has cost in terms of quality and responsiveness to business needs. The only reason GE remains competitive in the Healthcare sector is because they've still got enough cash to bail themselves out of the truly terrible management they're suffering under. Culture turns leadership team over every 2-3 years, so leaders don't have to live with the consequences of their poor management practices and decision making.

Pros

High salary, higher than the norm

Cons

What a horrible place to work. The managers and most of the staff are self obsessed individuals trying to elbow their way up to the next big step on the career ladder within the highly regarded and so great to work for american organisation. If you are one of those then welcome, you found the right place to work. The managers don't give a toss about their staff. All they care about is themselves and how to play the next big thing to gain points with upper management and of course, that thing called targets. You need to meet your far to high set targets and yes, everything you do is recorded on your very own employer number called SSO, so there is no escape from it. And this is really what your are in GE, a number and not an individual. You need to function in this big machinery of a company and that's it. And by the way, the management tends to change every 2-3 years, so there is no consistency. If you are looking for a long term career with nice people in a healthy environment (somewhere were you are seen as a human and the management is genuine) than do not go near it. It will just ruin your health and your mental state. Maybe other departements are better to work for. But the customer service dept. is outstandingly bad.
