Pros

Bredth of opportunities across a wide range of industries. Great people to work with and are NICE people, which is apparently a rare occurance (especially within the finance field). People who are mid level managers to senior managers are very smart, quick witted, and definitely a breed of their own. Seems like you need to be very competent to stay within GE, but will be rewarded hansomly if you can stick it through. Lots of opportunity for growth, and a very lean firm structure considering the 300,000+ employees it hires.

Cons

Bureaucratic, lots of red tape, but still working to improve it.

Pros

Management training, clarity of performance measures linked to company goals, talent of fellow employees, clear performance measurement systems, great opportunities to move around the globe. Diversity of industries and businesses. Great processes in place for best practice sharing and learning between businesses. Lots of good mentoring possiblities. Company has alway had a strond focus on community service and the environment.

Cons

Lack of work life balance. Focus on performance can sometimes blind leaders to good people who have potential to be developed. If you do not start on one of the leadership programs you can be easily passed over for promotion, training and recognition.
