Nice facility, nice employees, but the benefits and work-life balance really let GE down

Pros

Very nice office.

On-site gym and nature trails.

Great people to work with.

Cons

The benefits package is horrendously bad. There is no work-life balance. You are expected to put the company and its projects above your family and your personal health. Having to fill out a 50-question form to work from home makes working from home almost impossible.

Advice to Management

Improve work-life balance: allow employees to work from home when they choose, not after a lengthy approval process.

Focus on your people, not your projects!
