Pros

When GE was one big company, everything was great. Last year my rating for the company would have been great. But beware. Everything is changing for the worse.

Cons

Now that GE is splitting into 3 separate companies and GE Aerospace is on its own, everything has changed. That “unlimited time off” has suddenly changed to No paid time off. We are expected to work overtime to cover any vacation taken. They are trying to present it as a “mandatory number of billable hours - 1800 in a year” or call it mandatory overtime. But what it really means is no paid vacation.
