Great People, poor leadership

Pros

Outstanding and talented team with a long heritage of innovation and delivering key technologies to GE businesses. Strong leaders both technically and in the management ranks except at the top spot (see below).

Cons

culture has been destroyed and key talent decimated since Vic Abate came in. He is disrespectful to people at all levels of the organization. He claims to support diversity but makes very derogatory comments to senior female leaders in a public setting.

Pros

Some superb scientists still work for this place. Great work life balance mostly since no one cares about the results.

Cons

- scientists who actually understand are reduced to the level of yes men. No authority technical or decision making is left with the people who understand. - > 60% managers are unqualified, pathetic bureaucrats.

Pros

Mostly smart colleagues who are not too pompous. Variety of projects helps retain interest levels.

Cons

Too many to list.. but the worst is that as of Jan 2022, permissive time off is gone and 40hrs/week employees are only given ONE week of vacation/sick time regardless of # years worked. They've stripped away all of our benefits: worst in class, very high deductible health care, terrible work-life balance, high risk of losing pensions, dead stock, sub par dental and eye care, 50% of the people expected to do 110% of the work, massive attrition in last 4 years (center is down to 1/4 of what it was 5-10 years ago), expected to work overtime or not get vacation, totally uncaring , clueless, and bloated administration/leadership. HR is evil, and stupid. GRC no longer cares about the people or technology, just getting Govt. dollars in the door to keep the lights on, which is not sustainable. 15 years ago, GRC was awesome and I was proud to work here, but this is a sinking ship and now I'm ashamed. I have near zero work pride and the admin, finance and HR have sucked every last bit of life away from the employees. AVOID at all costs, most of us are just riding it out till the inevitable end. Your talents are better used elsewhere.
