      Actions taken don't match the promises

      Field engineer

      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.

      Great for job satisfaction and career oportunitities, but Immelt is screwing up.

      Pros

      My role gives me a lot of satisfaction. Allowed to focus on the important few priorities without been rated negatively when the others are neglected. Being a multinational there are great opportunities to relocate around the world and the top performers are not discouraged from doing so. Even though you are worked hard, there is generally an air of positivity and good nature within the teams.

      Cons

      A lot of uncertainty and lack of job security within some of the business units given Immelt's portfolio management work. Seemingly every week something is sold or trying to be sold. Lack of appetite for giving managers enough people to get stuff done means you are worked hard. Work/Life balance is heavily favored towards work.

      It is an excellent research lab

      Pros

      It is a research lab where latest academic research outcomes can be applied to many real-world applications. The working environment is also very comfortable.

      Cons

      If I have to say something bad about GE GRC, it is that its location is not as good as other competing research labs.
