GE the sweatshop

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Ok Salary Opportunity to move around within company

Cons

Cancelled pension as many companies have done. Moving jobs overseas to Mexico and India and laying off longtime employees New PLM software for managing engineering drawings and Bill of Materials is a flop. It takes an incredible amount of effort to get anything new in system and through lengthy approval process. Upper management would be seen as failing if they pulled the plug on PLM after investing so much time and money so they keep putting lip stick on a pig. Many people like "Edison's" start at GE and are promoted through the ranks, they have no real world experience and only know the GE way which often lacks common sense and can be frustrating to forward thinkers. Managers are afraid of their boss so no one is willing to rock the boat to make the company better. Guess how many Electrical Engineers are at General Electric ... Not many! And most of them are not US citizens. Stay away from GE Engineering!
