Pros

* Decent benefits (paid leaves, subsidized food etc.) * Huge and vibrant JFTWC campus with lots of engagement events * Employees are cared if they face personal issues

Cons

* Path ethic work culture in Aviation DS - high nepotism, brown nosing, lack of good mentors and zero collaboration * Handful of good data scientists. There are no challenging DS projects so no motivation to develop technical experts. Mostly people doing BI type work. Attrition of good resources. * Managers have no interest in promoting merit based culture. Preferential treatment given to people who started careers with GE (in Engineering teams!) and have no background in analytics. If you are joining from outside be ready to work under the "leadership" of these folks by doing all the work and also share credit. * Political work environment. No transparency in Awards/promotions and definitely not based on your competence. Rewarded only for fake million dollars saved or closeness to management. Some pet people win awards at every level in the organization each year. * Poor payscale and growth opportunities. Too crowded at top with poor leaders. Its an inverse pyramid with too many leaders and too few to execute * Fake pride of GE brand visible in all the old timers

Pros

The engineers who work hard and take themselves seriously are still working here and are great to collaborate with and solve problems. The projects are interesting, as long as your manager is considering your interests and career path. There are ample opportunities in commercial and military, with the commercial being more of a remote/Teams environment and military being more in person. Bonus structure is strong, 15%. Incentive pay for coming to work. Work life balance mostly depends on the job you sign up for.

Cons

Managers may not have come up through the engineering ranks and so they may not understand us. They focus more on process, like Flight Deck, than having actual knowledge to solve problems. The technical expertise in the sub section and especially section level has gone down in the last 5-10 years. This less technical management class seems to be impacting engineering turnover among the IC’s. Additionally, constant pivots, often due to inconsistent funding, also decrease morale. Lastly, it’s possible your manager doesn’t care as much about your career as they do just getting tasks done / covering the bases. Basically non-existent health care (very high premium and deductible for larger families). Biased hiring through Next Engineers.
