Pros

Strong management capability and very high level of technical expertise and ability. Very friendly people and lots of comraderie among the scientific staff. Very cool for a company so large. The Research Center performs cutting edge research.

Cons

Cafeteria food was so so. Had to go out for chinese food often. Car would freeze in parking lot, as there is not undercover parking in Winter! Had to use hot water to defrost windscreen wipers on at least one occassion.

Pros

Ok company to work for while a student in college or older seasoned professional. If you are in Louisville you are good to go but if you are out in the field you are not highly thought of in the company.

Cons

Office politics run high and if you are not in one of the office cliques then you are constantly fighting against each other. Management needs to be replaced, getting to comfortable in the positions. If management doesn't like you then you are in for it. They also play into the drama by talking about other employees behind their backs. It isn't an ideal place to work now that I think of my time there. Managers get in moods and take it out on office it numbers aren't made and make the office out to be the bad guys. While I was there I saw the revolving door that the sales office actually is, so if you are reading this and going to the interview, decline it's not worth it.

Pros

Talent and caliber of people. Benefit of broad GE portfolio of companies and business.

Cons

A lot of good talent leaving. Management accountibility loosening. Career development and people's growth loosing focus. Silos and layers growing. started with 3 layers to CEO now 8+. A lot of waste - resources, expense, etc.. To many powerpoint and reviews - each layer added results in another review series.. Short term focus.
