General Electric

You get to work with extremely smart, visionary & inspiring leaders.

Various training opportunities for technical or soft skill advancement, local & oversea (you will need to communicate ahead to your hiring manager).

Great career exposure, and you get to work across multi-regions, stakeholders, and subject matter experts from all over the world (don't be shy to ask for new roles, new opportunities). The culture within GE is, if you don't ask for it, nothing will happen. Prove your value, be a good negotiator, and you will be fine.

Pay is below the market for local hire talent. Low base for fresh graduates (probably due to a large pool of applicants from top-ranking universities, and HR can demand lower salaries for fresh graduates).

Annual increments can be pathetic, ranging from 2-5%.

Too many mid-level managers do not perform but still remain within the company.

1. It will be very motivating for the HR team to benchmark and adjust salaries before employees demand it or move on to new opportunities outside.

2. Perform a fair 360-degree review for management level. Many managers are complacent and not doing much, while some are working really hard.
