Pros

Excellent managerial opportunities throughout the company. Hundreds of departments spread throughout the country, and an excellent place to develop a career. Great reputation in business. Great benefits package.

Cons

As a medical device company, GE Healthcare is outstanding. As a medical software company, GE Healthcare is unimpressive in quality, and myopic in vision. It can be disheartening to work on software that only exists because of the clout of its brand name. GE Healthcare is contributing little to the clinical software industry, buying up companies without regard for their ability to maintain the product post-acquisition. Consequently, development is slow, products are outdated, and turnover is high. Pay and raises are mediocre.

Pros

It's a huge company with a lot of products, plenty of opportunities to learn about how not do do things.

Cons

Shareholder-led, quarter-to-quarter decision making. The company always does what's needed to satisfy the analysts, not what's actually the right thing. Every time GE has a bad quarter, or even a decent quarter, the company locks down the hatches, cuts bonuses, restricts travel and pares back annual raises...yet somehow they always manage to construct a booth the size of a city block at tradeshows. In addition to the above, GE has a terribly overblown opinion of its own ability to execute. GE ain't that good at process, folks, no matter how many books have been written on the topic.

Pros

GE Healthcare does offer opportunity to specific types of people -- A types are always appreciated as long as they fit into the club. GE over all is a big, big company, which has many places to work and find your fit. If you are not entrepreneurial and prefer working for a large company, this would be the place.

Cons

Fraternity atmosphere. High value on certificates and degrees rather than experience and quality. Focus is on this month's numbers rather than long term solutions and building for the future. If you can do PowerPoint you will go far regardless of quality.
