Pros

Breadth of experience. Benefits. Ability to have many jobs and stay in the same company. Leadership given to those who are young and talented to see whether they can sink or swim. Allows talent to be recognized earlier. Great processes & knowledge sharing across businesses. Culture of growth and learning. Change is constant. People are typically very helpful.

Cons

Compensation can be below industry for experience level. Company asks a lot of you which requires personal sacrifices to get ahead. Poor examples in management to follow for work/life balance. Politics is present during promotions and diversity metrics drive decision making behind the scenes.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are above average. GE looks great on the resume. It offers a great opportunity to college graduates and younger employees.

Cons

Communication from management is poor. Employees are pretty much kept in the dark about what the strategic direction is. Overall employee morale is low. GE is very quick to eliminate jobs, definitely too reactive. Training opportunities are rare. Everything is budget-driven. GE needs to learn to invest in the company, and to focus less on cutting costs.
