GE Reviews

Pros

GE takes good care of its employees

Cons

Debt from years ago weighs on the company

Pros

They're desperate for engineers so they'll let you work remote if you have a few years experience.

Cons

Time Vouchering is the most inhumane thing ever. They expect you to account for every 15 minutes, and it must be chargeable to a project. On the other end, they only give you a finite amount of time to complete a project, and the allotments are exceptionally lean. You must charge 8 hours every day and there aren't charge codes for typical work things like checking/answering email, discussing with coworkers, taking a 10 minute break after working 2 hours straight, or even pursuing a potential novel idea. They literally want every second to be laser focused on work and have the accounting system in place to enforce it. If you don't complete your work in the allotted time you have to report it to your team lead, your manager, and the project manager. It's like going to the principal's office except everyone is an adult. If this sounds insane it's be cause it is. This isn't just clocking in and clocking out. This a systematic way of looking over your shoulder and making sure you are working at 100% efficiency at all times. Your bonus and your pay raise are dependent upon how quickly you complete your assignments.

Pros

Great benefits, unlimited PTO, work from anywhere, internal car and home insurance, half day Fridays during summer

Cons

Splitting into 3 companies so a lot of the work is being handed to contractors and we are expected to apply to the new companies but there aren’t enough jobs for us being posted. Also the split work is boring because there’s no real innovation and all just change freeze for now. After the split, all 3 companies would probably be great to work for.

Pros

GE Vernova offers competitive salaries and paid time off. GE Vernova is committed to providing a healthy work-life balance for its employees.

Cons

The health insurance benefits are not very good ... you pay more as you make more. GE Vernova is not committed to the professional development of its more experienced and longer tenure employees. The company offers few options for training and development programs when revenue numbers are not where they need to be ... which has been the case often over the last 10-15 years.

Pros

Fast-paced, interesting work. Very hands on.

Cons

Very poor work life balance. Expect to work weekends & be on call most of the year.

Pros

The people are great to work with.

Cons

Prefer not to state here.

Pros

Lots of challenging technical work, very collaborative teams, great place to grow as a younger employee. Some of the brightest technical experts are on GE teams.

Cons

Lofty expectations for engineering teams, horrible attrition among younger employees, relatively old company culture. The flexible PTO is great but at times there are so many things that delivered that it doesn't amount to as many days as we would like. Upward mobility is hard as most of the working population is senior band.
