General Electric Employees Reviews
Hall of Shame

Challenging, but tough and rewarding

Its tough if you want to get promoted. But if you stand out and work extra hours (for free) and come up with cool things you will get noticed. the raises can be good or bad depending on your performance. Their non-union areas are soley based upon performance, you suck you don't get a raise, you rock and you get a nice one. If you do your job you get 2-3%. You have to be willing to move around and network to get promoted.

If your #2, see above....

GE is....ok I guess....

1) it feels kinda safe to work there...job security. This is just the kind of place you can easily get used to. No crazy things ever happen (for good or bad).
2. for ones who seek managerial career - this is a damn good school with lots of opportunities

1. if you have no ambitions of becoming a manager, than you're not categorized as "TOP TALENT" and you're doomed to settle for less than average conditions (comparing to identical roles in other companies. Generally speaking, in terms of investing in its non managers employees GE is far behind (comparing to ther large scale companies/competitors such as Siemens and PHillips).
2. GE businesses outside the US (e.g "Natives"...) are a different story. In general non US employees are treated differently: work much harder (more hours), required to achive more with less resources and get payed much less than their colleagues overseas.
If you're recruited by GE, forget about getting more than an annual 5% increase in your salary...that's the best you can get...often less than that.

Great results get you noticed

I get to work from home. My pay is good. Management trusts me to do my job right. Reasonable, fairly liberal travel policies. Great colleagues.

Unless you are considered "top talent" (top 2-5 percent of performers) it's hard to get noticed. There's little opportunity for advancement for front-end employees. Mid-level managers tend to get moved/promoted due to short-term results without upper management giving any consideration to long term effects. As a result, customers see a new General Manager/VP for their product every 9-18 months.

    1940: Taking the X out of X-Rays

    A 1940 promotional film by the General Electric Corporation targeted to Junior and High-school aged children, presumably shown when it was raining during recess time, or during a lull in science class. These films were made when our country was actually interested in sparking young minds to technical trades. Corporations (and the government) foot these production costs considering them as investments in the future, as in "employees" and informed consumers. Today's film, class, features the dry and stilted Dr. William Coolidge http://www.geocities.com/bioelectrochemistry/coolidge.html talking in a seemingly extemporaneous and unrehearsed manner, carefully choosing his words and phrases slowly - guaranteeing to put the modern-day teen to sleep. However the film is historic with Dr. C's rare appearance. Again as in films of this era, a live fluoroscopic demonstration is shown for the camera with no noting of any exposure precautions. Nice editing and classy scene-cuts and opening credit experiments evocative of the scientifically forward-looking period that's forever gone.
