IF YOU HAVE NEED PADS, USE IT OR YOU WON'T ADVANCE

Assembly worker

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly place to work, most people there are hard workers.

Cons

Some Managers are so lazy to do their jobs that they let the Team Leads do their Management job while they pretend to be busy and throw most of the A3's to the production. Managers need to be more active on the floor and not pretend to be busy. A3's are supposed to be done by wanna be Eng. Managers not Operators to prove themselves worthy for advancement.

30% of GE' size with 1% of GEs talent development organization

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

+ Great mission, great contributor-level people (scientists, engineers, etc.) + Best-in-class methods, sometimes too academic + Lots of resources

Cons

+ Broken talent pipeline. There is huge age compression in management: 50-year old VPs are managing 48-year old Sr. Directors and 47-year-old Directors. Everyone else is kept in individual or pseudo-individual contributor roles and the managers' buddies are the only ones who progress above that. Not a meritocracy by any stretch. Periodically, management will say - 'we need a talent pipeline' and then hire a bunch of greenhorns who don't know anything, get cool experiences for a year or two and then quit because they see it's old school and they're not going anywhere. + Hyper-political large company

Misaligned management of Change initiatives Pay not aligned to positions/talent instead an arbitrary value set based off of # of years of education instead of experience and quality of the work completed.
