      Entrepreneurial aspirations with a conglomerate wallet (and bureaucracy)

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Colleagues are phenomenal to work & socialize with. The business retains strong corporate/parent sponsorship despite continual challenges to deliver against expectations. Great opportunities for career development while executing in a difficult environment.

      Cons

      The company continues to struggle for a coherent market identity due to it's legacy of acquisitions; after 5 years of integration attempts only recently have the silos started to melt and "GE" penetration taken effect. There is constant leadership turnover as the heritage managers start to fade and the GE-fed talent moves across the corporate umbrella.

      GE Should Not Have to Be a Stepping Stone to another Job!

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are good. Fellow Employees are great. Having GE on the resume is always a plus. GE uses quality equipment and is very safety conscious.

      Cons

      GE has elevated bureaucracy to an art form!. Compensation: there is a cookie cutter approach to compensation (Pay for Performance doesn't work for every job) Employee Review System: too regimented with no real objective standards for measurement, forcing employees to use "GE Speak" - get rid of it.

      Good place to start, need to accelerate career progression

      Risk analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits / Resume Builder / People / Hours / Relocation possibilities throughout the country/world. The company is well respected and has a large network of EX GE employees with whom to network. Tuition reimbursment is also a great benefit.

      Cons

      Beauracracy / Mundane tasks / Non stop data asks / Advancement can be structured so as to not work in your benefit. If you do twice as much as someone else they can get promoted faster if they have been there longer. There can also be a lot of mundane data grabs or other task that get fed down the pipe.
