Good platform for learning.
- GE is a dynamic company with new learning every day. At GE employees are very competitive and the company encourages workers to think on their feet and there is no comfort zone. Because we work in a global environment with offices all over the work, there is an indulgence of information and an opportunity to interact with different cultures daily. - Co-workers at GE are friendly although they are always busy, they do manage to let their hair down occasionally. - I have learned to be confident and to broaden up my thinking. I have also learned that there is no space for mediocrity at GE - I enjoy conversation about different markets analysis and to learn how different economies influence our decisions and our revenues. Quarter-ends are challenging most especially when the targets are not reached
Pros: The opportunity to grow
Cons: Agile business and the matrix management structure

The daily activities while working as a Project Procurement and Logistics Manager
A normal day as a PPLM would involve interacting with colleagues, suppliers and site project team. What I've learnt is that, it's important to rely on the team effort while trying achieve the project deliverable. Dealing with supplier daily was huge part of my work as it involved negotiating contracts, seeking clarity on the contracts and holding suppliers accountable to their deliverable. I used to enjoy seeing the impact of my work on the project.
Pros: Getting more exposure to the huge network that the company has. Adjusting to new systems and procedures of doing work the GE way.
Cons: Tight deadlines was order of the day. Accuracy of the results was always a demand.
