Pros

I worked with a lot of very talented and professional engineers at GE Healthcare. Lower managers were also pretty good people.

Cons

GEHC has always been very profitable, but at the expense of employees. Their self-insured medical insurance (administered by Aetna) is horrendous with high deductibles and constantly rejected claims for bogus reasons. Upper management rides their best employees hard so they can get their management bonuses, while the worker bees can only hope for an occasional tiny raise that doesn't keep up with the cost of living. A few years ago they intimidated current employees to sign an arbitration agreement waiving their rights to ever sue for discrimination pr else be terminated. Then shortly after, they laid off the older higher salary staff (about 20%) near retirement age, and again forced them to sign waiver claiming no age discrimination or else leave with no severance benefit...all this while being very profitable...just so they could meet their super aggressive profit goals.

Pros

Cool project, that was it honestly. The bad outweighed the good.

Cons

DO NOT WORK HERE Not an emotionally or psychologically safe work environment. Toxic, dysfunctional, retaliatory culture with institutionalized gaslighting. The company is all about optics and theater. Whatever values or capital letter 'C' care they have in their name means nothing. Leadership's promises about respectful workplaces are lies. HR's claims about protections are also lies. GEHC cannot hold anyone accountable or create a culture where employees thrive. They think multi-million dollar campus renovations will fix cultural rot while C-suite leadership remains incompetent. Management engages in hostile behavior including: berating of employees behind closed doors, manipulating performance reviews as retaliation tools, making baseless accusations in closed-door meetings, and fabricating claims to coerce compliance. Reporting these issues with hard evidence results in the victim being pushed out while Management faces zero consequences. No accountability for management. No protections for employees. Paid 50% below market. Experienced employees can't afford homes. Wages are not competitive and haven't kept pace with cost of living. Everyone is grossly underpaid. Forced hybrid creates 90+ minute commutes from Milwaukee to Waukesha with minimal on-site value and poor information sharing. Everyone was miserable and a push to 5 days on-site will make it worse. LGBTQ+ employees: avoid this place. Not inclusive. Saw too many queer colleagues struggle and leave.
