Why do I keep working here?

Pros

The checks come on time... except for that one time they slipped all pay a week to meet quarterly numbers. The commute isn't bad for me. Sometimes the work isn't terrible. Some of my coworkers are fun.

Cons

Travel will only be to terrible places. There is no joy in anything we do here. Team building is more depressing than a funeral. The pay is critically low for this area.

Sorry to hear this. GE strives to be competitive and create an engaging place to work. It seems like that's not the case for you, so please don't hesitate to speak to your people leader or HR manager. Thanks for sharing.

Pros

Intelligent, motivated employee base that is passionate about delivering for customers and businesses. Wonderful Legacy and great technology base that spans so many areas. Wonderful training and development opportunities.

Cons

Company is downward spiral followIng Immelt's disastrous reign. Global Research has shed some of its best talent in 2017 with massive layoffs led by a tyrannical CTO. Attrition is huge.

Corporate buracracy at it's finest.

Pros

Stability, it takes a lot to get rid of incompetent people. If you do your job and blindly follow management dogma, you have a good chance of sticking around. The flexible work hours are nice. Decent pay and benefits. Having GE on your resume seems to impress other companies as well. There are good people in the organization, if you can look past a few bad managers.

Cons

Poor management - managers seem more interested in image and climbing the corporate ladder then actually solving problems or fostering positive change. Every decision seems to be driven by wall street with no thought to how a business or it's workers can be successful. This company does a poor job of investing back into its businesses or it's people. Training and professional development do not seem to be priorities. Technical people do not seemed to be valued. Only people on a management track.
