After 30+ yrs of engineering & management experience, I see that I have hit an unfortunate roadblock due to my sex & race. GE has set intentional diversity metrics which prevent further growth. I now work for the paycheck, and do not advertise that I work for GE to others unless required.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Very mixed. Company undervalues experience gained outside of GE.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Consistency in communications and goals
What are some of the best things about your team?
Globally experienced, optimistic, and energetic
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Company is innovative at finding ways to remain profitable
What makes you most happy at work?
Providing solutions our customers value
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Company provides no budget for merit increases to those in top quartile of salary bands
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Years of accumulated lack of attention to core structural issues: Understaffing, inadequate salary increases, reduced benefit programs, non-existent external development budget, obsolete IT systems and toolsets, massive organizational inertia.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
GE leadership falls short in many areas: Lack of promotion opportunities, miniscule salary increases, lack of employee development. GE is far more concerned about diversity stats and external optics than truly promoting and investing in best candidates for advancement.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Company needs to finally stop obsessing about external optics and success theatre. Ratchet back the virtue signaling, and focus on re-building a satisfied workforce, properly compensated, TRULY built upon meritocracy rather than diversity demographics, and rooted in far greater humility.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Despite extremely difficult challenges due to being understaffed, and not given proper tooling/systems to complete work, the team still optimistically tries to deliver to customer expectations. Very high attrition has thinned out team, but remaining staff are generally pleasant to work with.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Undervalued & undercompensated because I do not fit the Inclusion & Diversity demographic that is necessary for promotion beyond mid-management. Have over 30 years of engineering & management experience, always with high year end ratings, but effectively cannot be promoted due to my demographic. :-(
