Pros

Makes you realize the important things in life......... Friends & Family.....

Cons

The most downright, god awful place to work! If it was not for the fact that GE developed and still owns this software the company would be bankrupt. The majority of the senior management team have no or little experience outside Gensuite so don't understand the simplest business principals or how to manage staff. The company likes to recruits recent graduates and "molds" them into the "Gensuite Way". Which normally takes the form of cajoling, humiliating and bullying them in submission, that's if they say around long enough. Anyone that joins the company with outside experience is not taken advantage of and if they don't become just another Yes Man to the CEO and VP's they are side lined. They make a big deal of their "international offices" which are in many cases one man bands. Or simply IT sweat shops in India or China where staff treated even worst than in the USA. They work long hours and take work home with them and work all night at home as they are too afraid to speak out as they will lose their jobs. Company procedure are awful and forever changing and only really understood by the Some of the senior management team, everyone's else lives in fear of getting something wrong and the horrible consequences that will follow. No HR team to approach with issues or problems, you are expected to take them up with the senior management team, who are normally the cause of the problem!! Endless management speak and over complication of the simplest things, you are micro managed and treated as if you are some sort of idiot. I showed my partner a work email he read it many times but could not understand it as it was so full of pointless empty management speak, it was like something out of The Office......You are expected to do everything from software development, training of customers, invoicing etc, etc. Their is no accounts department to speak of and company never really knows exactly how it's finances are doing. Gensuite thinks it's the most innovative EHS software in the world, but once you start to look around you will see they seem to copy everything other companies do. They get most of their business from GE as they get Gensuites services at a cut rate and new business from GE employees moving to other companies.

Pros

Technology/product was ok, able to do customizations

Cons

Toxic work culture, period. Leadership demanded so much and were condescending that affected employee morale. There were only a couple managers that were great to work with. It was very micromanaging that you had to use a certain font style and color for your emails. They change the company name every few years and focus on non-important items. It’s sad because the company could be good with different leadership. Work life balance is also a struggle. Your mental health can take a beating.
