*APPLICABLE TO RENEWABLE ENERGY DIVISION - BROSSARD, QUEBEC

Worst company I worked for (engineering/project).
Brutal management practices. You will be given 100 hours to do a 300 hour job. You will be beaten down by many managers if you exceed the time. Most people work at least 10-12 hour days + weekends with no overtime, banked time or even appreciation. Top down management approach. Micromanagement takes a whole new meaning in this place. You will spend way more time explaining why you are late (which 9 times out of 10 is because of their endless processes, poor estimates and a childish belief that engineering estimates are firm numbers). If you go over the estimate or deadline, you are on your own and you better work nights and weekends with no pay to get it done. Yes this is not unusual ... if the price is right. In this place the salaries are lower than even a corner mechanic shop for most people EXCEPT managers and directors. You see hardly any turnover for managers but there is a revolving door of burnout employees. If you don't believe me, look at how many they are hiring every day. The building was already at capacity long time ago. Meaning they are not increasing the team sizes - they are replacing dead soldiers. Stay away. Go work at Voith, Andritz, WSP, Aecom or bag groceries at IGA. you will be better off. 

I worked for Alstom and then GE after they bought Alstom for the last 10 years. The GE team is very respectfull and professional. The work charge is very high, maybe too high. The salaries have been frozen for the last years. The site crew is very well paid, but office crew is strungling with very low salaries. If you want to make money, you need to go to site.

GE Renewable Energy is extremely diverse and collaborative work environment. Everyone is encouraged to express their views and hold to the company's integrity and ethical standards. GE embraces diversity and looks at ways to foster work, life balance.

Working for a big corporation is as expected. We are underpaid for the work done. HR is only looking out for corporate interests. Huge companies do not care about labour provided. Once you hire in that is all you will ever get, with little to no meaningful raises.

Has potential but laking highly in communication . High pace very physical. Industrial athlets only. Extream hieghts and heavy equipment. Safety requirments are a must .

GE renewables pays well. there is a lot of work with little to no support. feels like they have more managers than technicians now of days. overall a great place to get training. 

Professional and respectful. I learned many experiences of coordination and communication. There is a very adaptive relationship as I worked from home and communicated remotely.

There is no pressure, people are understanding, and everyone does their own thing. Great mentors, the environment is positive and fun. There should be more team-building events in my opinion. 

That was the great opportunity  for me to connect to the renewable industry specially GE.Hydro
Very good management and  is mainly global
good relation between co-workers

No comment. It was previously a french-owned company called Alstom and it got bought out by GE. GE, in my opinion, is not doing a good job of managing this new acquisition.
