Pros
Brand Name looks good on a cv. Other companies know that if you were at GE you were competent in your job. GE also has a mandatory fire 20% yearly of the workforce rule therefore if you last longer than a year other companies know you are good at what you do. The pressure is high depending on the role and current market status. As of late 2008 the lending business would be tough because of the number of losses that GE has to write down globally. This means that the expectations on you will be even higher to perform
Cons
High pressure and long hours. GE also does not really train you for a position. They calim they will train you but in actuality the do not. Typically they through you in the position and initially make a bunch of mistakes. the advantage is that you learn quickly because of the pressure you are under. This will result in you have completed a lot of different jobs at a senior level whereas you peers in other organization would not get the same exposer. Get used to sleepless night though because the pressure will be on the whole time through your tenure at GE
