General Electric

Exciting work in a high-growth company. Good pay. Good entry-level job. Work 40+ hours a week with very little travel.

Unrealistic schedules.

Poor communication between management and employees.

There's no real technical career path. Even though one has been in the works for close to 2 years, it has yet to be put in place, and we've been assured it won't affect salary.

Engineering (SW/HW) positions are growing faster in India, but it's still mostly Product Acceptance.

Very little exposure to customers.

Our measly bonus plan was done away with last year, not that it mattered much as it was only about $250.

Get to know the people working for you. Motivate your teams through common goals. Don't allow silly corporate politics to interfere with the work of your employees. Cut out the "corporate" language in presentations.
