      A Great Place to Work

      Pros

      It is a large company that can provide a lot of avenues to continue in your career, a large amount of experience handling a larger variety of issues than one would find at another company, and is highly recognized by other institutions. Also, there is a great possibility to move up within the company.

      Cons

      It is a large company so sometimes communication is lacking on projects or issues.

      GE a Great Employer for strong, motivated, intelligent future leaders of the business world

      Pros

      GE provides access to state-of-the-art technology and management training, unparalleled by other companies I've seen. Employees are encouraged to continue education by refunding costs for advanced degrees at academic institutions as well as sponsoring them to go to training classes and external seminars/workshops throughout the year. GE makes good on its claim of being a diverse employer with meritocracy-based advancement. The Company sponsors several affinity networks to help African American, female, gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American employees feel comfortable and confident that discrimination in the workplace is completely unacceptable. GE also has one of the most comprehensive benefits packages in the world including being one of the few employers to offer a full pension after retirement. GE offers many programs for flexible work arrangements as well, making it easy for employees to work remotely and spend more time with family if they desire.

      Cons

      There is a lot of pressure to be cost-conscious and spending on things like celebrations and office comforts is very limited. Employees are constantly trying to take cost out of operations to bolster the bottom line. While being cost sensitive is a good discipline for an organization, I think that GE goes overboard sometimes in order to make profits as high as possible. When the company puts out hundreds of billions of dollars a year, it's hard to understand why the people who make it happen can't even get a free cup of coffee in the office lounges. Other than those minor things, though, there aren't a lot of major pitfalls to working for GE.
