Working at GE Capital in Norwalk, CT: 6 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Norwalk, CT Area

"Great Mission and Great Accomplishment"

"As a long term employee I have seen the cycle of good and bad. The issues today are that GE continues to reduce the size of GE Capital yet business and regulatory requirements continue to grow. While there may be opportunities to advance they are very few and tend to go to only those in Norwalk, CT. The other issue is most new sites tend to be in downtrodden cities, i.e., places you don't really want to move to. Also with reduced staffing the workloads in certain functions can be overwhelming so you really have to understand how the business operates and the speed to be able to prioritize on a daily basis. That said, there are plenty of interesting challenges to deal with or address. It can be a good place to work for those that can deal with volume and change but it used to be great."
