GE Aerospace Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Great exposure and vast experience in many parts of the business

Cons

Terrible work/life balance and treated like a commodity that can get thrown at problems

Pros

GE really does hire and retain great people. Most everyone is very professional and pleasurable to work with. The company is so large that there's ample opportunity to follow different career aspirations. Compensation is above average.

Cons

Because GE is so results-driven, management can be very demanding sometimes unreasonable. Work-life balance can be a challenge because employees are expected to work long hours and meet seemingly arbitrary deadlines. When looking to move up in the company, things become very political and you must shift your focus from delivering quality work to pleasing the correct people and projecting the 'right' image.

Pros

Good work life balance and flexibility.

Cons

There is no leadership in the management ranks.

Pros

Got to know a lot of good people. There was also a network of interns who hung out and volunteered together, which was really awesome.

Cons

There wasn't good work life balance; a lot of engineers were doing overtime. I felt like there was a lot of in-fighting between the engineers and the managers from GE global research.

Pros

Great Work life balance Encouraged by management to try new things and get involved in The Community. Good Compensation and benefits

Cons

Because we're here in Peebles, we don't feel as connected with what's going on in other locations, and we sometimes feel like we get the short end of the stick

Pros

Work life balance is great in that managers are very accommodating with regards to working from home and flexing time as needed. Permissive leave for salaried employees.

Cons

Benefits are bad and getting worse. No more free dental/vision care, 401K company disbursement at year's end only, limited awards/recognition.
