      Pros

      Challenging work. New technologies being pursued. Benefits not too bad but I’ve seen companies with better. Product line is exciting to watch being built.

      Cons

      Horrible management. Very short sighted. Only looks out one quarter when making big cost-cutting decisions. GE lied when they said that they will have 20,000 women in technology roles by 2020. With men in the management positions, women are overlooked for promotions or the first one out the door when layoffs occur. I even heard a male manager say that he thinks that women don’t want to work. The culture is toxic.

      Why would anyone consider switching to GE at this time???

      Pros

      Unless you don't have a job and desperately need one or if they are making you an offer at least "6 sigmas" outside the market range, I don't see any pros!

      Cons

      Where do I even start?? To be clear, this is about GE Digital and not the overall GE. But seriously, this is a great vision screwed up with poor execution. But the main reason I wouldn't advise anyone to join GE Digital is that the folks who screwed up execution are still in the same position, continue making the same poor decisions but get rewarded with promotions or not getting "RIFed". I have a neutral opinion of John Flannery as such but I fail to understand why he hasn't canned Bill Ruh as yet. My only guess would be that he is too busy trying to save the big mother ship and doesn't have any other option but to stick with Bill Ruh because he can't reveal the true strategy in an interview to any new CEO candidate!

      As you likely know GE's gone through significant change since this post and continues to evolve. We appreciate your concerns and hope your opinion will improve as we move forward.

      Pros

      PTO was great. VERY laid back, nothing was done in a rush. The people were great, never had any problems with anyone. Starting pay was good.

      Cons

      Management flat refuses to embrace new ideas and technology. Raises were a joke, I averaged 0.7% a year over 3 years. Two types of managers, the old guard that is dug in on how they do things and the new hire college kids that have not a clue what is really happening. Managers move around every 2 years, no constancy.
