Great Personnel, Poorly Used
Great Personnel, Poorly Used
GE has a lot of top-notch talent, especially engineers. You can learn a lot, regardless of your career level. People who really wish to be managers can advance if they take the opportunities available.
Upper management has a major issue of not listening to their subordinates. A great example is the implementation of PLM in GE Power & Water (formerly GE Energy). The engineers and supply managers that had to use it identified many issues with the brand brought in (Enovia), yet upper management pushed it through without allowing for correction. A loss of productivity over 40% was encountered due to a system that was not ready and did not fit the needs of the business. The headaches entirely belonged to engineering to correct or work around.
GE management really needs to listen and act upon the concerns of engineers. It is the reason I left. What good is it being an engineer responsible for developing new technologies and furthering improvements if management just does what they feel like instead of analyzing the data in front of them and working with the engineers to improve things?

Very basic, not difficult, quite okay, nice and smooth, okayish. Don't worry, it will be okay. Just brush up basics of physics and engineering from the first 2 years, and things will be okay.

The interviews were fairly straightforward, outside of an in-person exam. There was a phone interview, an in-person interview (round-robin style), a mechanical aptitude test related to the field, and a follow-up review/interview (final stage).

It was an AI interview which consisted of general situational questions, such as a time where you were resourceful. It was a normal experience as you would expect, since it was AI.
