Pros

Good compensation Flexible work schedule No issues with taking time off Stability

Cons

- Incompetent managers have no clue regarding the technology/products they are in charge of developing. Most isolate themselves in their offices when they should be reviewing or overseeing projects with their employees. - Old boys network is deeply entrenched and the guiding rule when it comes to project leadership/promotions. Talented employees are routinely bypassed in favor of old timers thus jeopardizing project deliverables and ridiculous excuses are given to justify the same. - Project priorities change at random and very frequently and no reasons are provided on why changes are taking place - Achieving training/EHS targets is more important that achieving project targets

Pros

The paycheck won't bounce. Company has started growing again despite the recession. Current team allows flexible hours. The Boston location is very convenient.

Cons

GE is so focused on process that it can be difficult to meet customer needs. There are many layers of approvals needed. The tools are awkward and slow (in an IT company, this is unacceptable). I worked for a company that was acquired by GE a few years ago, and we still struggle to figure out how to do things the GE way. I am frustrated daily.

Pros

GE Healthcare has HUGE resources, which enabled it to survive the current recession. The company actively promotes very strong business ethics - employees are constantly told to do the right thing for the long term, following the spirit as well as the letter of the law. A lot of effort is put into process improvement.

Cons

Despite preaching "doing the right thing", non-management (and low-management level) employees are treated as easily-interchangeable parts in a larger machine. The company is struggling to figure out how to be good at software development - and perhaps to be as good at management as it once was.
