Pros

As long as you get your job done, no one bothers you. Loved my co-workers. I was able to work from home as necessary. Many benefits such as 20 sick days a year.

Cons

Manager frequently said India engineers would work at half our salary. Had 3 (remote) mangers in a year so no decent review. RIF'd then then offered another position similar responsibilites at 50% previous wages. Lost 401k contribution because I wasn't vested at no fault of my own.

Pros

Benefits on par with any big company 401K, Medical, Dental, Vision, EAP

Cons

No respect or opportunities for experienced workers. Medical not as good as at other big companies I've worked at. No bonuses or profit sharing I've found my managers to be incompetent, aimless and verbally abusive. I've had 3 managers and the last has been the worst. No way to deal with him. Had to simply remove myself

Pros

The GE name on your resume. Own a product or process from beginning to end.

Cons

Lots of politics.Absolutely no training provided. Past due jobs get assigned to you. Random assignments thrown at you and are asked to figure it out at your own. No structure to the learning process. This way learning is severely affected. No guidance or support or mentoring provided to new employees. Multiple people watching over your shoulder and you are doing the job all by yourself. Constant pressuring to complete jobs by deadline (even past due jobs), doesn't matter even if there is a learning curve. People in charge don't want to listen or hear what the actual problems / issues are. They just want the job done. Extremely bureaucratic and chaotic. Disorderly and lots of confusion. Highly understaffed.
