Pros

big knowledge base on their beloved business processes, might be rewarded if you make work your life and make the right connections I'm told, can really learn a lot about big business if you want

Cons

lots of corporate 'overhead' meaning they always have some new complex process or initiative that you'll need to learn and use while you could be getting real work done and then they go and change it next year, describing the company as bureaucratic is overly generous, spending way too much time on things like getting a computer fixed because that's 'how GE does it'

GE Challenging, Educational place to work

Pros

I've worked for GE for 10 years and I've been very satisified with my job. The salary is very good, the benefits have been great although they have recently changed. It's challenging and you learn a lot about business and industry. It's especially great for college graduates who can get into one of the leadership programs because they get exposure to many different businesses and leadership. I've always been supported in taking time off when necessary for my family. I believe that most management at GE tries to help employees have a good work/life balance.

Cons

It's demanding. GE employees work hard...most more than the standard 40 hour week. There can be a lot of pressure to perform but hard workers are rewarded. It can be hard for newcomers to adapt to some of the processes and terminology used internally. Not a company for thin skinned people who can handle constructive criticism and demanding expectations.
