GE reviews

Great place to start your career or move to early on in your career. The company places a lot of value on GE experience. You lose out to people who have graduated from one of GE's famous programs - FMP, IMLP, TLP, Audit Staff etc. There is too much focus on internal stuff and not enough on external customer oriented impact. Not great for work - life balance especially if you are on the management track. While the career development process is fair I found that relationships are important but then they are important everywhere ! You have go with the company speak - any deviation from company speak is viewed upon as negative instead of positive feedback. Great place to be in your 20's and if you are in your late 30's make sure that the position is visible and offers you an executive band track (EB in GE speak). If you are not EB you are NOT on the management track and your growth will be restricted though the company will take adequate care of you.

Red tape, red tape, red tape - the bureaucracy has evolved into a monster preventing any flexibility in career advancement, education, or adjustment to business practice (even if that adjustment would bring on new customers and cut costs). EVERYTHING is over-promise and under-deliver, from bonuses to career advancement - management has a culture of lying to to employees and clients about everything - usually for absolutely no good reason.
