      Pros

      Worlwide recognition of the company makes it easy or people to identify with your employment background. Once you tell someone that you were with GE, the automatically know that you are well traned and have plenty of experience. i enjoyed that you are always in the know of key performance numbers. It was as if I was running my very own business. Unfortunately, you are not rewared as if you are the owner of that business hehe. If you like to travel a lot, this can be a very rewarding experience as the company has so many offices worldwide and encourages mobility.

      Cons

      Must be willing to relocate in order to be competitive for promotions and career advancement

      Pros

      Job is relatively safe. Lots of opportunity for growth however achieving that growth often requires you to leave the Company and return after some other experience. Relaxed work environment with a casual dress atmosphere. Very supportive of people coming from not the top schools. As such an excellent employment provider.

      Cons

      Slow. Lethargic. Bureaucratic. Hierarchical. Acts as a large governmental organization. Pay and compensation structure is weak. Hours are erratic.

      Administratively Bloated Overkill Company

      Pros

      Great benefits at a low cost to employee, Worldwide name recognition, Very diversified company

      Cons

      Too much overkill...ie., too much time wasted on some overkill positions from people trying to justify their positions and existence within the company, "Permit to Work", "JSA's", "RWA's", "SRA's", "Scorecards", "NPF Scores" on and on and on. To conduct a 10 minute job, this administrative overhead takes that 10 minute job and turns it into a 2 hour job, thereby costing the company money as contractors sit around waiting to get started to do the task they were hired to do. Management actually stated outloud "I Just Don't Know How Anything Gets Done Without All These Meetings"!! Read that again, that's not a typo. That's our actual mentality, and they wonder why people won't stay. Their attitude is that you shouldn't have a family or life outside of GE, that you should willingly devote your extra time on your low salary for the good of "The Business".
