Pros

Good opportunity, nice working environment. They offer competative pay and great benefits. People are always willing to help you out with any problems you are having work related or not. There is a great work life balance is amazing I would strongly recomend anyone beggining or ending there career to consider working for GE. It is a has proven time and time again that they will withstand the test of time. GE is one of the top businesses in the world and will only continue to grow and grow. It would not be a smart move to pass up working for a company like GE.

Cons

It is a fast paced working environment. You need to make sure that you always stay on top of your work or you will fall behind and it is difficult to catch up.

Pros

You get the chance to work with some of the smartest people across industry. The management is top notch, and the grooming for the top performers keeps the pipeline full. It's not uncommon to see GE alumni in top executive jobs across the country. In my opinion, this is only because GE has an over supply of leaders, and unfortunately, there isn't enough room for all the talent that is brought up.

Cons

Being a top performer generally entails more than 40 hour weeks. GE does like to run lean and efficiently, meaning the peak times will require you and your team to give a little more than your salary covers. Also, the new focus on specialization and expertise has narrowed the career paths somewhat. Cross-functional opportunities are much harder to find.

Pros

Alot of opportunity if you are a hard worker. GE is place to be apart of a company with a world-class supply chain and manufacturing component. People who go above and beyond are rewarded and promoted. Most leader care about the people in their businesses and do whatever they can to make sure their teams are successful.

Cons

ALot of people and if you do not have a strong personality, it is easy to get lost in the fold. Its usually difficult to start with GE from the outside, do the the highly matrixed organizations and leadership structures...but that also creates alot of growth potential.
