Pros

Outstanding and talented team with a long heritage of innovation and delivering key technologies to GE businesses. Strong leaders both technically and in the management ranks except at the top spot (see below).

Cons

culture has been destroyed and key talent decimated since Vic Abate came in. He is disrespectful to people at all levels of the organization. He claims to support diversity but makes very derogatory comments to senior female leaders in a public setting.

Pros

Some of the best and brightest people to work with. Work life balance is fine if you don't abuse your time and do your work as required. Location does have a lot to offer. Adirondacks/Canada to NYC, Boston to Buffalo all well within 1/2 day drive. Area rich in history. Local institutions such as RPI, UNION, & Albany State offer classes to expand you knowledge. (Ask about tuition refund)

Cons

Management is pulled from current ranks. Most if not all are not trained in the skills needed to lead people. Although some are good, most are on an ego trip. Employment threats and demeaning behavior is rampant especially in the materials sector of the lab. Backbiting and torpedoing are common practice as well as demoralizing attitudes. This has been going on for decades. Folks are told to “tell it like it is”. A word of advice? Don’t do it or you will be singled out and subsequently punished. Mr. Culp needs to take notice.
