GE reviews

The whole experience of being a GE employee is a downside. GE is constantly hiring and firing people. They staff up for projects and then when the project is complete lay people off. GE has layoffs down to a science which is something they pride themselves on. Your coworkers are constantly joking nervously about the layoffs. Coworkers are not friends, they are your competitors and they will screw you if they can because it is the difference between staying employed and getting let go. GE expects that you put in a ton of hours all the time, so much for work life balance. Between worrying about getting let go and putting in a ton of hours most GE employees hate the world. Stay away from this place at all costs. Quite frankly your better off unemployed than working here.

Like others have said. They have trouble getting rid of dead weight and difficulty motivating the top talent to stay. Very much a sit down and shut up environment. Feedback is not encouraged. Everything is political. Requires a policy and procedure for everything. It is common to see people thrown under the bus. Getting basic tools to do your job is impossible. Lots of lip service to software development methodologies in use etc., but no execution to back it up. Turnover is high.
