Pros

Challenging work load with the ability to experience new and exciting fields within the Information Technology framework.

Cons

Still has the stigma that the Appliance business runs the show. If you are not in Louisville, KY you often take a back seat and feel like a second hand citizen at times. Healthcare benefits have drifted south and more expense is driven to the employe;with salaries below par with many major companies, its becoming harder to see the long term potential to want to stay with the company.

Pros

Great place to work, hard driving but fair. Leadership of John Krenicki is excellent. Can be bureaucratic but compared to other large companies very much a meritocracy

Cons

Very demanding environment, dealing with legal can be very painful when trying to get things done

Great place to work if you like waste

Pros

Strong company, great training, wonderful people to work with

Cons

Poor management of large projects. Too much time and money are wasted on large projects and management tries to protect itself first instead of doing the right course corrections. It's all about spin and politics. Don't outsource software development to such a great extent that you have visa holders working onshore at the cost of employees that you laid off earlier. The consultants often don't want to be held accountable because then they can't increase their revenue. Don't get me wrong; there are some really great developers but management is being taken by the consultants' management. I left GE because I didn't like how management was solving for the next year and not the long term.
