Pros

Some great people who are dedicated to improving healthcare services. The company actively tries to create a "healthcare company" culture differentiating it from other technology and engineering companies which a lot of employees identfy with and value.

Cons

The culture is a sham at its core and GE is just another US conglomerate. It is run by a cadre of senior managers who move from business to business without really understanding anything in depth beyond the finances. Cost cutting, acquisition and disposal, lack of investment and milking cash cows is sadly their operating model - to maximise shareholder value.

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.
