GE Vernova | $114,400-$143,000
Steph's Notes:
Okay, this one gets extra points for being an energy company working on some cool alternative energy solutions, including wind turbines! I love wind turbines.
Careers page is standard corporate fare, but more bonus points for embedding what appears to be a live widget showing GE Vernova's ratings on Glassdoor.
Also very corporate job description, but the upside of that is that these kinds of JDs tend to be very clear about duties and responsibilities, and this one is no exception.
For roles in companies like these, those upsides for some can be downsides for others: they're usually really old-school working environments that tend to favor stability over rapid innovation. You skip a lot of the startup bullshit, but obviously, Business Granddaddies come with their own kind of bullshit.
I guess what I'm saying is, I'm putting this in **Eh, It's Probably Fine**, but mileage may vary more on this one than usual since I don't feature a lot of jobs from established megacorporations in Bad Job Bingo.
(Just a note: it looks like this role can be onsite in Foxborough, MA, or Remote in the United States and Ontario, Canada.)
