Pros

GE in general is a great company to work for. Being a multi-national conglomerate, opportunities abound. I do believe that GE is driving innovation throughout all products and segments. Healthcare is broad and deep, from biopharmaceuticals to imaging, cardiolgy, monitoring devices to healthcare IT. I honestly belive that GE Healthcare is "at work for a healthier world". I also like the potential opportunity to move to other areas in GE, however it does seem that the only people who actually move from Plastics to Healthcare or Healthcare to Aviation are the "legacy GE leaders" - those individuals who started with GE and have moved up through the ranks. It seems harder for those of us who were "acquired" as a result of mergers and acquisitions.

Cons

Although I am proud to say I work for GE and GE Healthcare, I am very disappointed with the direction that GE has taken with some of Healthcare IT solutions, particularly the perinatal and acute care EMR solutions. It seems that GE understands hardware very well and software not so well. A lot of the processes for developing and implementing software are adopted from hardware businesses and don't always fit. A piece of advise -if you are looking into getting in with GE Healthcare, don't do it through Seattle.

Pros

-a lot of smart and talented people work here -reasonable pay and benefits -nice coworkers -some remote work opportunities, albeit decreasing over time

Cons

-mixed leadership - some good leaders, some terrible ones -ridiculously onerous processes - their QMS system is ludicrously conservative and involves literally hundreds of documents to make one product -sourcing takes 10x longer than it should -tolerance of poor performers and way too high a bar to get rid of them -bad annual raises - often lower than inflation these past few years - and weakly based on personal performance
