Pros

Long term stability, good co-workers,

Cons

Heavy Bureacracy, promotions are demographically based - not merit based, scads of do-nothing people, no pipeline of key talent, pressure packed to get things done immediately, outsourcing crazy to the point that it's worthless, poor short sighted leadership - they've got their money & options and they're not going to rock the boat, below average pay for the worker bees. Short term focus inflicts permanent damage - case in point: Appliances.

Pros

GE only has the best people working. Being with the best means being around people who have the same drive and motivation to succeed. Volunteerism is everywhere and makes work more enjoyable and rewarding to be with GE.

Cons

Not enough full time w/benefits positions for everyone, not enough little perks.

Pros

Unlimited possibilities, there is tremendous support for people to go beyond their traditional boundaries and explore. GE continually changes itself which opens up opportunity for everyone who wants it.

Cons

Employees that produce less than stellar results are slow to be managed out of the company - especially at the lower (non exec) levels. This can lead to frustration in the folks that take the job seriously and can end up in the good people leaving and the weak staying.
