      GE Review

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Well known global company that is very competitive in all the markets they service. Fast pace environment with little down time. Very Fair Review Process. Promote advancement in education, provide excellent training opportunities, get to work with very knowledgable people and can gain large amounts of experience very quickly. As a new employee you are challanged quickly

      Cons

      Very large Company and there is little access to management more than one level up. Have to be mobile to move up the salary scale. If not top talent employee in the ranking system it is easy to fall behind on salary compared to outside employement opportunities

      Struggling with it's acquisition

      Marketing communications manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great reputation on the outside means job opportunities should be good. Pushes employees to excel - they will take as much as you give, but you are generally rewarded. Great opportunities for growth (if in the right division).

      Cons

      Growth is dependent on your division. Bigger divisions are very political. Security is struggling to integrate acquisitions and is laying people off. Strategy reviews are more about plugging in numbers, so big thinking is minimal.

      Actions taken don't match the promises

      Field engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Looks good on a resume, for your next job. There is still respect for the brand, unlike some other American icons as GM. Some programs for new hires are very good.

      Cons

      Only as good as your last project, pays to get out of your department when the getting is good, i.e. your last project was a success. Top performers are overloaded until their performace degrades to "normal". Very bad at promoting the "best people", management unable to see inverse correlation with performance of who is actually promoted. Too focussed on internal metrics, to the detriment of delivering value to client.
