The two happiest days of my (professional) life, the day GE hired me and the day I resigned.

Program manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Compensation & benefits were decent - About 1/3 of the people you work with are truly pleasant to work with - The company name caries prestige

Cons

God, where to begin... - The majority of leadership I encountered were incredibly demanding of their subordinates, but rarely held themselves accountable for anything - Be prepared to spend a sizable amount of time per day on CYA activities; seriously this will become your new part time job - Get used to senior leadership having 'favorites' and God help you if you're not one of them - Do you like a 40 hour work week? Double it. - Don't care for profanity in meetings? No one cares, get used to it. - Need support from a leader to resolve an item at work? You'd better hope you've done something for them lately or it's not going to happen.

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salary and immediate vacation benefits is a bonus. Outside of the local GE shop, there are opportunities to move around the company if you can last 18 months to be eligible to transfer.

Cons

Lack of direction from upper management. Long hours working 60+ hours a week. Multiple single point failures in employee staffing. Local GE management sets unrealistic expectations for craft production. Mid Level management supervises craft that are represented by labor unions and are unable to hold anyone accountable. Understaffed workforce+unrealistics and unachievable goals=miserable workforce. Very high turnover in lead technical specialists results in low level of knowledge. Since being hired within the last year, four personnel have left this location.
