Pros

Best part was leaving. Like many others who have left GEHC recently, my career has taken off since leaving GEHC on my own accord.

Cons

GEHC does not care about you. GEHC does not care about your career path. There is no money in the budget for training, mentorship, or proper onboarding. Employees are churning and burning, and morale is at an all-time low. There is no innovation, just talking heads. Talent is not appreciated. Old, outdated systems and technology that does not compete in 2022 or in the healthcare space at all whatsoever. Financially weak and owns a crippling balance sheet, so there are always layoffs coming. Leaders are only concerned with saving whatever is left of the nonexistent pension pie for themselves and protecting their own little glass house. Most middle management is useless and needs to be dissolved entirely. Most painful realization is that this is an inclusive or diverse company. One good solid look at the entire commercial leadership / comprehensive service / equipment executive teams and you will see, it's just the typical white male good ole boys club over there at GEHC - just like it's always been at GEHC, and just the way they like it there. There needs to be a significant culture shift, because they are not getting it done GE also continuously pays below market rates for the er' um' "privilege" of working there. Just look elsewhere. You can do better for yourself. You will thank yourself in 2, 5 or 10 years. This company so easily lets the best people, the greatest talents go, and will leave you to pick up the slack, and never backfill any roles due to a crippling balance sheet. So, it doesn't matter how talented you are, do not come here for a rewarding career, or you are in for a rude awakening. I understand if they don't care about keeping an average employee, but how come they let go of the greatest talents so lightly? All the real talent has been leaving GEHC for a while. From this perspective, the future of this company looks very gloomy. The firm is now filled with non-skilled, talking heads (bureaucrats), rather than savvy, skilled, technocrats. Lots of young people in leadership who do not know how to run a company, but hey they did the good ole commercial leadership training! Too bad that is a meaningless accomplishment. That fast track to upper management is not diverse at all whatsoever. Just have a look for yourself at the commercial leadership and executive team at USCAN. These are he same guys that have been making the terrible commercial, operational, and financial decision-making accumulating over the years that has screwed this company financially and further dragged down their balance sheet. Also, pretty shady what they did with pensions. Also, very behind in the competitive space with respect to Philips and Siemens

Pros

1) Permissive vacation policy - this is only good if you have a manager that allows you to use it. I've heard of some employees that have to beg for vacation days. 2) Opportunity to work with a diverse background of people from all over the world. 3) Much of the current employee pool are great, highly talented people.

Cons

1) You will likely have to train yourself. GE Healthcare is not good about providing training for new employees to be successful. They may help you learn parts of your job but expect you will need to drive that process. 2) Management controls costs by lay-offs - and lots of them. In the last 2 years there have been at least 7 substantial staff reductions, 2 in 2021 already. It does not matter how long you've been with the company or how amazing you are as an employee, you can still be part of a lay-off. Every 4th quarter there is an annual layoff as well. 3) Once you do get a lay-off, the employees and suppliers are so used to this being a regular occurrence they literally drop you like a hot potato. People who you used to speak to daily, just redirect to whomever they reassign your tasks to. 4) Most of the leadership that were present to get GE Healthcare in trouble are still in the top leadership roles. Some have started to turn over but not enough. 5) The work locations haven't been updated since they were brought online - meaning if you happen to work in a newer office, your furniture and environment is probably decent. If you have the unfortunate assignment to an office that was opened 20/30 years ago, that's probably the last time the furniture, carpet etc. was changed. 6) This list could go on for quite a bit, should you chose to work here be very aware that it's not a cake walk. 7) Advancement and promotions are difficult for the average employee. They use job bands to classify where your job lands on the pay scale. It was difficult to move to a higher band before and now they've expanded the levels so movement is harder than before. 8) Expect to do most of your work in Excel. All the ways that work gets done is very manual, investment hasn't been made in processes or programs to make work easier. With the staff reductions, employees just do what they have to do get the job done. 9) Team goals are often in direct conflict with goals of adjacent teams. Makes achieving them quite difficult when the teams aren't working to a higher, good of the company goals.
