Pros

- You get to travel if you want to - Stable company with big portofolio. Will still be around tomorrow - Performance is rewarded (at least in theory)

Cons

- Constant competition rather than cooperation with other teams within the company - GE keeps on buying additional companies because it fails to grow 'organically' and looks no further than the next quarterly figures. - Burocracy: a lot of time and effort lost on useless trainings and procedures - Little innovation. Focus on maintenance existing products, rather than the next generation - Internal e-mails and self-promotional meterial is always full of slogans promoting the 'GE' values and virtues. But they are entirely empty: they promote the same values at their military production sites as in the Healthcare business.

Pros

Cool project, that was it honestly. The bad outweighed the good.

Cons

DO NOT WORK HERE Not an emotionally or psychologically safe work environment. Toxic, dysfunctional, retaliatory culture with institutionalized gaslighting. The company is all about optics and theater. Whatever values or capital letter 'C' care they have in their name means nothing. Leadership's promises about respectful workplaces are lies. HR's claims about protections are also lies. GEHC cannot hold anyone accountable or create a culture where employees thrive. They think multi-million dollar campus renovations will fix cultural rot while C-suite leadership remains incompetent. Management engages in hostile behavior including: berating of employees behind closed doors, manipulating performance reviews as retaliation tools, making baseless accusations in closed-door meetings, and fabricating claims to coerce compliance. Reporting these issues with hard evidence results in the victim being pushed out while Management faces zero consequences. No accountability for management. No protections for employees. Paid 50% below market. Experienced employees can't afford homes. Wages are not competitive and haven't kept pace with cost of living. Everyone is grossly underpaid. Forced hybrid creates 90+ minute commutes from Milwaukee to Waukesha with minimal on-site value and poor information sharing. Everyone was miserable and a push to 5 days on-site will make it worse. LGBTQ+ employees: avoid this place. Not inclusive. Saw too many queer colleagues struggle and leave.
