Good place to work and learn - Anonymous employee GE Employee Review

Big company, so lots of silos and organizational resistance to change. Also, because its so large, there are many standard processes and procedures that are just accepted as the way its done. Those standards are good for driving commonality, but they tend to hinder improvements and innovation as new employees don't have to take the time to learn why they're doing something, rather they're just told how to do it. There needs to be a better way to bring new ideas in and encourage individual contributors to approach each problem with an eye toward efficiency and creating value for the company and its customers.
