GE HealthCare reviews

GE Healthcare is a large company that suffers from many of the issues typical of large companies. Some specific cons: 1) frequent reorganization / restructuring, 2) lack of visibility into other departments / groups and what work they are doing, 3) significant amount of technical debt, 4) a lot of roles and the scope of the associated work is not well defined ("who owns what"), 4) a disproportionate amount of work and resources devoted to processes rather than work that would actually move products / services forward (e.g. meetings, discussion, flowcharts, etc. on how to reduce time in meetings), 5) the compensation is actually quite low / poor for the size of the company and the skill of the employees (many of the employees could be compensated at a higher rate at a different employer), 6) for promotions, "how things look" is more important than the work actually being done; for example, talking a lot, especially to senior staff, is more likely to result in promotion than solving problems, especially if they are technical problems.

I have 10+ years of experience in software development, but never met such density of manipulation, gaslighting, and politics as at this company. The middle management is relatively incompetent and likes to take no responsibility, but rather guilt trip their employees for their own mistakes. Their performance evaluation tool is hugely subjective and not transparent at all. So it's all on your direct manager if you get any bonus by the end of the year or not. It's more efficient to satisfy your direct manager's personal desires to get a bonus, than doing your actual job effectively.
