predix_worker

pretty much describes GE.

The San Ramon office is like a h1b1 warehouse. I think they know they have these people almost locked in and take advantage of it. I've been here over a year and have yet to see a single person fired.

You could honestly fire 40% of the people in GE Digital and it'll function the same if not better then it did before

I agree 100%. Like all large companies there are some really sharp people at GE Digital. Here is my insider issues with GE

1) Sales/Execs push product. Predix is so beyond fucked its not funny. I don't think anyone can come in and fix all the tech debt. Sales will push new customers and force engineers to meet their deadlines. Execs won't allow engineers time to fix anything. Its just keep pushing out awful hacks and 70% working products.

2) Anything you say your manager might listen but it nothing will happen. In order to get anything done you have 10 meetings about it during the week.

80% of the issues are caused by our shit infrastructure running on VMware.

CF is a pile of shit anyway. Its overly bloated and its hard to support and deal with

There are two.. AWS and hosted in virgina.. AWS is FAR better then hosted.. the hosted predix is 90% of the issues

the running joke in the San Ramon office is if GE moved the building 20 minutes away.. 80% of the company would quit because their commute was too long

I'm also on a throw-away. I work for the Predix team and its a giant cluster fuck.

I think one month we had a 90% uptime. Our services crash all the time.

Our new boss has said he has around a 500-600 million budget for buying interesting companies.
