Lower pay scale than competitors. Must accept military style commands. If one wants to get promoted, one must move everywhere. It can happen anytimee.

Lead Mechanical Engineer review of GE Greenville, SC

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Large multinational company with many opportunities to move. Company has such a dominance inthe marketplace, there is some feeling of security, although that is never truly guaranteed. Company can compete very well when it comes to salary and the ability to pay for a relocation for experienced emplyees.

Cons

Very rigid with respect to HR policies and making individual allowances. Company does not like to vary from it playbook of rules. A potential employee gets the feeling that they are worried about conflicts concerning alignment of benefits. The company is highly political. The workload is exceptionally high, and turnover is a serious problem.
