Pros

Flexible schedule, good pay, unlimited vacation

Cons

-2 corporate restructurings, which changed my role in my first year. GE Corporate is publicly talking about getting rid of GE Transportation. -The leadership development program hires are always first in line for promotions. If you are an experienced tech individual contributor, expect to have a senior manager younger than you.

Pros

After 22 years with this company, I can say GE had its drawbacks like any company would have, but overall a great place to grow career and meet amazing people. The last few years, especially after the Alstom purchase, it has been a disaster. I hope it can turn around. I am pleased with my compensation, but the benefits have changed drastically over the last 8 years and are negating this pro.

Cons

I do not know a single person who is happy in Schenectady working for GE. Does HR understand an unhappy workforce leads to low productivity and impacts the stock? The "you are lucky you have a job attitude" does not = productive workforce. Health insurance is horrible and the last cost increase was more than my raise. My first raise in 2.5 years because they were suspended for Senior Bands . Pensions are at risk of being frozen for older employees and were already eliminated for new employees. Constant threat of layoffs is draining and demoralizing. I was pro GE for my entire career and always loyal to this company. I actually recruited friends to work for this company. I am now actively looking for another job and would never recommend anyone to work for GE the way it is today. I not only feel guilty for having friends come to GE, but now still having a job with GE, I will be competing with fellow employees who were laid off for other local jobs.
