Pros

Benefits: work from home, flex hours, benefits. Career opportunities are there, but will have to work hard for several years to be realized. Communication between management and you is OK, but only quarterly. Leadership is good, but takes forever to get anything done.

Cons

Working in a cubicle in a trailer. Boring work. No investment in future products/tech. 8 year old computer software. "Only software and systems we have are broken ones." Was sold as more high tech than actually is. Communication between peers is lacking, then you get the not particularly intelligent "loud mouth" that has the managers ear. Morale is pretty poor since sub-business is losing money and work conditions are poor (cubes in trailers).

Pros

Provides a good learning opportunity along with lot of ownership and exposure to senior leadership. There is a lot to gain and create by cross business and function collaboration and teaches a lot about getting multiple days worth of work out of a single day on the job.

Cons

The compensation package is not as competitive. Despite all other aspects being really good however, one needs to be able to pay one's bills. Further, the salary structure of some profiles could seriously do with a revision to make it more tax and employee friendly.

Pros

- It is a large company with opportunities to move around to a diverse set of technologies. - The benefits are fairly good. -Good resume builder. -GE Leaders of Tomorrow is a great way to network with fellow young employees. Travel benefits are good. - Flexible work arrangements are available to those with special needs.

Cons

Pay is significantly below the industry average (in my opinion) for engineers with little to no bonuses. Work is generally focused on maximizing profit on existing technology rather than investing in innovation. Overtime pay is limited. Employees are encouraged to work casual overtime in office without compensation.
