GE HealthCare reviews

There are a lot of weird people there, unfortunately most of them have critical responsibilities. Hence politics is a huge factor, decisions are made oftentimes slowly and not in a rational way. A few people dont even come in every workday, they usually just fake an excuse and no one asks. Processes are considered more important than productive work, you can do a year retrospective and find that not much value has been produced. The average professional competence is moderate, development is very slow. People get preferential treatment (promotions, awards, tickets to conferences) based on their connections within the company. It's a cliche of course, but its pretty ironic if you think about how much effort the company puts into raising awareness about diversity and political correctness. Wierd situations occur when small managerial people overestimate their impact and try to force their way contradicting teamwork.

Processes can be cumbersome and stifling, lots of tick-box exercises and political backstabbing. Jack Welch created a culture years ago of eliminating the bottom 10% each year and although Jeff Immelt worked hard to change that, the fear still persists. As such people are aggressively competitive and have no concern for a greater good; only their own advancement. Middle management are in particular fearful and trying to safeguard their own jobs, happy to throw anyone under a bus to save themselves. OK place to work but wear your armour.
