Grand Rapids is not the place to move ahead in this division.

Business Outlook

Pros

The work in Grand Rapids is very challenging. GE as a company is very good about providing corporate information to it's employees. GE also attempts to allow employees to move around within GE if you don't find your current job challenging. Grand Rapids is a wonderful place to raise a family within Michigan (even though the unemployment rate for the state is the highest in the nation).

Cons

Grand Rapids was recently acquired (2 years) from Smiths Aerospace and is still in the initial growing pains cycle. The management here is not gotten into the mainstream GE philosophy of openess. The rewards (i.e., pay increases) here are very low compared to the US as a whole. The management here seems to think that everyone that is working here is here to stay, and don't provide financial incentives to keep employees here. The Work/Life balance is poor here because scheduling is not something management does well. Manditory OT (albeit with pay) is the norm here.

Pros

Great benefits, almost infinite opportunity and great job security. There are also a lot of opportunities for continuing education, as they will reimburse/fund a lot of classes. They also have the EEDP program, which is a rotational, leadership program which looks great on resume (career builder) and exposes you to a lot of different working areas. This is invaluable for work experience, especially since the people who get promoted the quickest are those who understand projects from the systems level. The pay was competitive but did not blow me away, although the bonus was pretty nice, around 5,000 which is more than some of my other offers.

Cons

Low visability because its such a large company so unless you really ask for work and take initiative you can quickly become "lost." I definitely recommend having an ambitious attitude and really ask for work (and not just work, important work) so that you can gain some visability. Also, the location (Lynn, mass) isn't really all that great. Kind of a run down, poor area. On the flip side Boston is close if you like big cities, but Lynn and the surrounding area is definitely not a nice place to be in. And so if you wanna live in a nice area, its gonna be a good 20+ min commute at least.

Business Outlook

Pros

Highly competitent and talented co-workers. Can do attitude. Exciting technology and business.

Cons

Insane restrictions on travel budgets. Impossible to advance to Executive Band and above without being "annointed" early in your career. H.R. controls who advances - not a "meritocracy." Many aviation job skills don't translate to other GE businesses except for generalist roles: HR, finance & legal. This also limits career advancement opportunities. Salary reviews are decoupled from annual performance reviews - salary increases are on a 14 to 18 month cycle and don't keep up with inflation. The biggest problem is making the quarterly income numbers - budget limitations often stifle business growth.
