GE reviews

For such a large company, I was surprised by the absence of processes when I joined. I have worked for family-owned businesses that took better care to provide computer backups, for one example. Promotions often seemed overly influenced by the "diversity" of the candidates (as opposed to their qualifications). I was verbally discouraged by one HR manager from applying for a job because I did not have the pair of chromosomes they wanted.

Long hours and pay not up to par with other major corps. Beware of the GE image and culture. You must be willing to fully absorb and accept their near military like operations and handling of affairs. If you cannot not assimilate to the standards and learn the basic jargon associated with a GE employee, you will stick out and eventually alienate yourself from other "GE" employees. Learn to play the game and keep it professional.
