High Tech Experience? Stay far, far away
High Tech Experience? Stay far, far away
Great marketing vision... that's about it.
I was recruited out of a very well-known, large high-tech company to help launch a new business unit at Current by GE. The existing sales leadership had zero experience in high tech. Recruiters and executives made promises – written promises in offer letters – that they outright failed to deliver on. The bonus program, which was a 30% total comp split, did not exist. Within 8 months, 75% of the new team was riffed and reorganized under a single tech leader. It was a complete mess.
Deliver on programs that you agree to in the offer letter.
Do not treat highly paid technical sales engineering resources like factory workers.
My short experience with GE was the polar opposite of their high-end culture advertisements. Complete fraud.
