Pros

Well doing the FMP I had the chance in 2 years to see different businesses and reality, having on top the chance of studying in 4 different semesters for different classes, the salary is in line with the market standard even if after the economic crisis the increases have been reduced ( now the maximum salary increase obtainable is 3% while before was 5% every 6 months according to performances)

Cons

Depending on the job and on the rotation of that time, working hrs I would say on average are long,.. expect to work on a daily basis from 9.00 am until at least 19.30 excluding closing period, that then work hours increase drastically. On top of that after a while even if having the chance of rotating in different position the way of working for this company is similar across the different platform and if what you want is to experience different reality is not really going to be the case.

Pros

Work with great people, lots of variety and opportunity for advancement. Great matrix organization with ability to interact with top level management on regular basis. Benefits are good and management awards are a plus. Review process is lengthy but can be great if you have a great manager that is a mentor as well. Opportunties for community outreach are also outstanding.

Cons

Work / life balance can be very unbalanced. The general culture within GE is to work longer hours. This can be hard for some. When you have a less than desireable manager, reviews can be difficult because you won't always get the mentoring you might need to achieve stretch goals. With that said, there are numerous ways to find mentoring elsewhere in the company.

Pros

Large business with opportunities for both lateral and vertical movement. Though the company is large, teams are organized into manageable sizes and cross-functional communication is usually easy.

Cons

Sometimes subject to the bureaucracy typically associated with a large company. Communication is often slow (both from management to employees and laterally across businesses). Leveraging of resources across divisions is not fully utilized.
