General Electric

1. The development teams are intelligent and helpful.
2. The IT team moves fast to procure you equipment.
3. The Compliance team is very strong and effective.
4. Flexible timings.
5. Nice-looking campus.

1. Policies depend on your manager. Some people I know got a sabbatical while it is not in policy. Genuine people in need did not, again because it is not in policy.

2. Micromanagement happens from higher levels. Three to four levels below the CEO are tracking every scrum team's burndown on a daily basis.

3. You are expected to be available all through the day. There are always calls with the US. So there is no work-life balance.

4. Low pay to existing employees while they are paying a lot to new joiners, including a joining bonus (which is not standard).

5. Very volatile management, and each new manager brings in their short-lived initiative and stresses out the working population.

6. In some projects, priorities change every single day. The commercial team, product management, and engineering are never in sync. So the development team is always stressed out.

7. Pretends to be an environmentally friendly company. Employees who take car leases get more benefits than employees who take the bus. Bus fares are very high, and routes are not good.

8. The sourcing team/policies are horrible. To get anything for the lab, even the smallest connectors, will take you almost a month.

Trust your employees or don't hire them. Micromanaging never helped any company succeed.

Care more for your existing employees and bring their pay to market standards, else you will only be stuck with new joiners and no one with domain expertise to help push out the product.
