Software Engineer - GE Transportation
Software Engineer - GE Transportation
Great medical, PTO, etc.
Upper management seems to be serious about learning how to manage software development teams/projects, but they still have a long way to go.
GE Transportation is still figuring out how to manage software development, and there are some growing pains.
Performance review systems are excessively time-consuming and tend to reward the most narcissistic.
Software engineers are treated like interchangeable cogs in the machine.
Increase granularity of software development roles and titles. There are at least hundreds of different types of software developers. The current structure seems to ignore this.
Appoint managers and team leaders with the knowledge, experience, and freedom to be effective managers. Bringing in managers from different domains and expecting them to properly manage a software development team is not realistic.
Do some reality checks on your hiring process. It does not currently allow team leaders and managers to find and hire the people they need.

The whole process took around 1 month, I think. Once I started the interviews, it went pretty fast. Two technical interviews, including questions about imaging, like how to blur an image, etc. Then an HR interview just to know you.

Talked with hiring managers, and they wanted more security+ experience rather than QA automation. Also, they were willing to allow time to get a security clearance. Nice people. Had an interview over Teams with two people, and it was very nice.
