The recent acquisition of the former GE Water business unit is a nightmare. It is a living hell to work in this business unit. The finance organization is in complete chaos. Finance employees receive e-mails, urgent requests, and calls from managers at all hours of the night. Three employees have recently been in car wrecks from the late nights and lack of sleep. There is no structure or processes in place. Systems (which is really Tableau, used as a giant pivot table) are terrible and there isn’t even a common share drive to save and share massive excel files. Instead everyone resorts to e-mailing tons of excel files and you never know if you’re working with the latest version. Employees are treated poorly and are not able to have any kind of life outside of work. Don’t plan on being able to see your spouse or children here. Working weekends and on holidays is the norm. Friday nights managers send requests with things due back Sunday afternoon. My advice to others is to look elsewhere; I wouldn’t wish this torture on anyone.
