Pros

Charlottesville location is wonderful. Mfg team there doing their best with minimal resources and support. Some significant investment in Cville based controls products in 2011-12 but not seeing results in market. Strong hourly and salaried ops teams, strong mid-level managers.

Cons

Weak business leadership from Mary Rose Sylvester and questionable capability on Jody's part. Some strong players have left senior and midlevel ranks in engineering, finance, manufacturing, HR and marketing. Too much focus on quarter by quarter results; business lacks staying power. Gutted the business in 09 for good reasons, but never added back resources commensurate with business recovery.

Pros

GE Vernova has great company culture... obviously it differs team by team but in my experience most people are really nice and laid back. Most teams are also supportive of good worklife balance (aka nobody is working more than 40 hours per week, and a lot of teams are remote part time).

Cons

Like every big company, there is some disorganization (ESPECIALLY with onboarding stuff).
