Pros

I worked as an International Dispatch Analyst for UTi, a contract logistics company on-site at GE Engergy. GE as a company seemed to have good name recognition and respect among those that dealt with it. As far as scope, GE Energy and especially the logistics division was doing many new and exciting things, especially internationally.

Cons

As a contract worker for GE, I felt that it was all about the bottom line and nothing else. There was 1 GE in charge of about 50-60 contract employees without any on-site management which made communication very difficult.

Pros

Good people, responsible company, challenging and rewarding work.

Cons

Big company, so lots of silos and organizational resistance to change. Also, because its so large, there are many standard processes and procedures that are just accepted as the way its done. Those standards are good for driving commonality, but they tend to hinder improvements and innovation as new employees don't have to take the time to learn why they're doing something, rather they're just told how to do it. There needs to be a better way to bring new ideas in and encourage individual contributors to approach each problem with an eye toward efficiency and creating value for the company and its customers.
