GE reviews

Salaries compared to equals are unfair. I found out that a new guy just out of college doing the same work as I with 4 years experience was getting paid 10K more than me. Salaries for engineers at GE Infrastructure are too broad, meaning the bands need to be more disipline specific. Some managers say that health and family come first, but when you ask for time off they can get angry when deadlines are near. Other managers don't take the time to get to know you and tend to have their favorites. Some managers don't have the correct background for their position.

Great place to start your career or move to early on in your career. The company places a lot of value on GE experience. You lose out to people who have graduated from one of GE's famous programs - FMP, IMLP, TLP, Audit Staff etc. There is too much focus on internal stuff and not enough on external customer oriented impact. Not great for work - life balance especially if you are on the management track. While the career development process is fair I found that relationships are important but then they are important everywhere ! You have go with the company speak - any deviation from company speak is viewed upon as negative instead of positive feedback. Great place to be in your 20's and if you are in your late 30's make sure that the position is visible and offers you an executive band track (EB in GE speak). If you are not EB you are NOT on the management track and your growth will be restricted though the company will take adequate care of you.
