Highly productive organization; great company to learn and grow within
Human Resources (Former Employee), Waukesha, WI – May 20, 2013
Pros: global industry leader, strong talent throughout the organization to work with and learn from
Cons: work/life balance can be a challenge, a down quarter or year can lead to downsizing
A great organization to grow and expand your career, as you're afforded the opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest minds at the corporate HQ as well as the field. Very good management with excellent career progression opportunities. While I have heard that recently the work/life balance as become a bit more equitable, it was a challenge – more... years ago to juggle both as the organization is very 'driven' as a whole. – less

The "Old GE" is not the "New GE"
Sales (Former Employee), Midwest, West and Southeast – May 14, 2013
Pros: benefits, training, lateral mobility
Cons: no clear strategy, tarnished one time image, rarely seen as the #1 player in many categories
In the days of the iconic CEO and his meritocracy, and those that followed in his shadow, GE was a different company. Often found on the Forbes most admired list and appearing in many HBR case studies and other blogs, the company was filled with type A personalities and a hard charging attitude. Unfortunately, this distanced GE from some of it's customers – more... because they were seen as rigid and inflexible. The inside joke heard from many customers was often "you might buy better, but you wont pay more". While this was sometimes true, and reflected the up and down struggles of the GE product innovation and engineering teams, it was never a long-term common thread in the company. GE churned out great technology, and world-class leadership. The company was committed to dominance in #1 or #2 market positions wherever they played, and they could only accomplish this with outstanding products and customer service, along with committed front line personnel dedicated to assisting their customer. After the economic downturn, GE tried many different strategies to reinvent itself. It cleared house of many of the "blue blood" managers and "highly compensated staff". They tried to imbed simplicity and a more nimble and flexible attitude. Unfortunately, while they accomplished some of these things, they also lost quality. Today the political structure is entirely different, the meritocracy is waning, and some of the creativity has been absent for roughly 5 years. GE will need to proactively and truly reinvent this division. They've lost their way in how to achieve shareholder value and they've been absent from the most admired list more often than not. Today's GE isn't the one you will hear or read about in your MBA classes, and so long as you go in with eyes wide open, you will find a strong work ethic, with very good pay and benefits, within a once exemplary company that needs new leadership to become better than it ever was – less

Excellent place for direct employment.
Marketing Consultant (Former Employee), Salt Lake City, UT – April 23, 2013
Direct employees were treated with respect and valued for their talents and input with regard to the advancement of corporate technologies and service. In contrast, contract employees were not invited or allowed to participate in most corporate events, meetings, discussions.

Hostile,Lick and stick company
Senior Technician (Former Employee), New York – March 25, 2013
Pros: nothing
Cons: hostile, lick and stick
If you want to work for a company who looks the other way on lick and stick just to get the work done than go work for this company. I'm just waiting on the lawsuit to put these people out of the health care Industry.

Global healthcare company making the world healthier through imaginative science
Senior Organizational Communications Specialist (Current Employee), Piscataway, NJ – March 20, 2013
There's really no such thing as a typical workday for me! As the sole communicator in the US & Canada region for my division of GE Healthcare, I interact with people in many departments at all levels of the organization, helping with everything from helping frame and communicate the business strategy, to planning a national sales meeting, to writing – more... the site newsletter.

I'm a member of the leadership team, so it's been great getting to work with upper management and help frame messaging that will get employees engaged and proud of what we do as a business. We have a diverse workforce, so it's been important to find creative ways of keeping employees' attention.

A challenging part of my job is managing employees who aren't my direct reports. I work hard to build strong relationships and teams with my co-workers so that they, in turn, work hard toward the success of our projects.

The most rewarding part of my job is helping people do their jobs better because they're well informed and aware. – less

Excellent place
Customer Cares Agent (Former Employee), Wauwatosa, WI – February 25, 2013
Pros: ability to study & read during break time
Cons: breaks were too short
A typica day would be answering a high volume number of phone calls daily assisting customers; inputting service tickets; routing to correct department or individual, and transferring to supervisor when appropriate.

I learned to liste carefully, communicate effectively, and working quickly and accurately.

The management team was awesome.

Co-workers – more... are always willing to help and never hesitate to answer questions or concerns.

The hardest part of the job is sitting all day, but was worth the time to fly by.

The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to help others. – less
