Good Company - Highly Ethical

Recommend

Pros

This company had an incredibly robust compliance program. It makes employees very comfortable to work in an ethical environment. Also very big on community service and volunteerism. You don't hear much about these two attributes but really make GE a nice place to work. Sure there is hard work and even some office politics ( although not as much as I have seen in other companies) but working in an ethical place that values employee involvement to help others is really a nice environment.

Cons

This is not the place for people who don't want to give 100% to the job. Internal competitiveness is strong. You can't hide or coast.

Pros

Many companies these days say they are changing to be more modern... GE is doing it!!! Of course there are pockets moving slower than others but for the most part they are well into this journey... An exciting time to be at GE!!!

Cons

If you expect it all to be handed to you and don't want to put the effort in yourself then don't join... Negative people and those feeling they are owed will not do well here.

Pros

Leadership encourages innovation, process improvement, and empowers employees to lead. The open office promotes collaboration and IT collaboration tools further support the ability of remote teams to stay connected. Leadership is focused on long-term solutions and supports employees to be able to do their work and achieve goals.

Cons

Analysis and reporting tools are lagging behind strategic vision, but working on improvements. Not all businesses are aligned with the strategic vision and understand the value of Global Operations organization (understandably - this is a big shift in mindset and culture change).
