      If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

      Pros

      You get to work with hard driving very intelligent people. Positions can be challenging where failure isn't an option. The sky is the limit on what you can achieve if you make it your goal. Working for GE is like working for many different companies at once. It's never boring and there's a new challenge every day.

      Cons

      Extremely high expectations with long hours required. Often work/family balance is a battle. The Appliances business is extremely competitive and foreign competition make profit margins very hard to come by. Making the numbers is the bottom line for every position. Creativity is wanted but the "GE way" sometimes gets in the way of the best ideas.

      Pros

      Training and development. Good templates and best practices.

      Cons

      Ethics and reward systems based on crony system. Incompetence and surface management are keys to getting ahead.

      Salaries for engineers at GE Infrastructure are too broad.

      Pros

      Career development through training and the chance to further your education is excellent. Benefits package are great. They encourage fitness and the fitness center is nice. Ability to put your money to work through a nice investment program.

      Cons

      Salaries compared to equals are unfair. I found out that a new guy just out of college doing the same work as I with 4 years experience was getting paid 10K more than me. Salaries for engineers at GE Infrastructure are too broad, meaning the bands need to be more disipline specific. Some managers say that health and family come first, but when you ask for time off they can get angry when deadlines are near. Other managers don't take the time to get to know you and tend to have their favorites. Some managers don't have the correct background for their position.
