Pros

The people and engagement activities. The paid overtime for salary workers was great, too. Other sites seemed to work better.

Cons

Poor procedures and lack of clear direction. The work/life balance is dismal and the expectations are stressful with no support to achieve plausible goals. Everyone does their own thing with no regard to documenting what they do - tribal knowledge reigns. No accountability.

Pros

GE provides a stable job and a program to help new hires gain experience in the engineering world. The program allows you to rotate into any position you find interesting every year, though I hear they have plans to cut that down. Stability trumps everything here: if you are looking for a place to settle down, have kids, and then retire with little risk and no excitement or adventure, this is the place to do it.

Cons

1)The pay is well below industry standards, but they justify it by saying "you get to work on something interesting, so we can pay you less". This excuse will be used directly to you in "All Hands" meetings. 2)GE Aviation is in the Midwest (on Ohio, of all places), and thus you will constantly be surrounded by mediocrity. If you are ambitious and have the drive to be "a step above", this is definitely not the place for you. In Cincinnati, you will constantly be surrounded by people who praise mediocrity. Be prepared to be surrounded by people who: -Hang out with their high school friends (why meet new people? I'm OKAY with these ones) -Work at GE forever, though they aren't passionate about it (why find a new job? I'm okay with this one) -Marry the first person who won't dump them (Why meet someone new? I'm okay with this person) -Live in Ohio, forever (why see new places? I'm okay with this place). This mentality is poisonous. and is constantly within everything that happens. 3)This is, of course, a big company that doesn't care about the employees. Remember: the second you stop producing for them, the second they forget about you completely.

Pros

Air conditioning and heating in the office building, there are coffee makers. Office building has a roof and four walls. Some windows.

Cons

Skype Business doesn’t work, they rely on Excel for any analytical work, you can’t get a Matlab or Tableau license because it’s too “expensive”, every engineer that mentors you is 60+ and spends 20 mins a day with you and has zero interest, all the older engineers complain all day about Millenials, when you take a new role no one trains you or passes any information on how to do your job, they will expand your role exponentially without any pay raise, senior engineers have gone 3 years without a raise, PB and Lead engineers on average get 2% raise while executives get 100k bonuses, cash flow has been decreased by deals made by executives at top, horrible actualization in business, stock price is low, morale is low, commercial is moving tons of engineers to military without regard to future development, employees are seen as “just employees” and not talent, there’s no efforts to automate or invest in Google-like machine learning stuff, no rest and recreation areas, Executives are asked to identify poor employees in public, managers berate employees in public in front of peers, budgets are unrealistic to force scarcity, SEC investigation. Very little diversity. Almost no women and ones that are there are forced into business operations and never promoted.
