Cons
Coming from an acquired company you are treated as if you are ignorant and a second class worker because you were not hired by GE and don’t know the GE way. Matrix system has some good aspects but it also creates tunnel vision and employees & managers don’t seem to know what goes on outside their matrix. Employees only see what they do and don't realize how their job functions influence other jobs in different departments. GE is extremely top heavy with upper management making it take forever to get something approved because you have to run it by 20 upper managers first. Benefits are very poor – coming from a smaller company our overall benefits package was better and cost less for both employer and employees.
