OK expirence for OK Pay, but watch out for seasoned exployees

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ok company to work for while a student in college or older seasoned professional. If you are in Louisville you are good to go but if you are out in the field you are not highly thought of in the company.

Cons

Office politics run high and if you are not in one of the office cliques then you are constantly fighting against each other. Management needs to be replaced, getting to comfortable in the positions. If management doesn't like you then you are in for it. They also play into the drama by talking about other employees behind their backs. It isn't an ideal place to work now that I think of my time there. Managers get in moods and take it out on office it numbers aren't made and make the office out to be the bad guys. While I was there I saw the revolving door that the sales office actually is, so if you are reading this and going to the interview, decline it's not worth it.

Pros

Talent and caliber of people. Benefit of broad GE portfolio of companies and business.

Cons

A lot of good talent leaving. Management accountibility loosening. Career development and people's growth loosing focus. Silos and layers growing. started with 3 layers to CEO now 8+. A lot of waste - resources, expense, etc.. To many powerpoint and reviews - each layer added results in another review series.. Short term focus.

Pros

Challenging work load with the ability to experience new and exciting fields within the Information Technology framework.

Cons

Still has the stigma that the Appliance business runs the show. If you are not in Louisville, KY you often take a back seat and feel like a second hand citizen at times. Healthcare benefits have drifted south and more expense is driven to the employe;with salaries below par with many major companies, its becoming harder to see the long term potential to want to stay with the company.
