Business Outlook

Pros

Global reach is very good with locations employees in all of the BRIC countries. Strong focus on global growth and expansion.

Cons

Very centralized decision making at the HQ level and multiple levels of approval required for seemingly simple transactions such as small value indirect purchasing and low dollar sales orders.

Great place to take on responsibility in a tough industry

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of opportunity to take on responsibility and own a part, product or process. Good salary and working in GE provides a lot of interaction with other businesses and a very competent collection of people. Many opportunities to connect globally. Good set of tools and the business is investing heavily in the future. Business outlook is positive.

Cons

Transportation is a tough industry - unrealistic to expect a lot of cuddling and praise. GE has a strong performance culture so may be difficult to adapt if you are coming from a "business as usual" culture.
