GE benefits

Good pay for internship, provided housing stipend and travel expenses. Didn't offer holiday pay to interns and interns in manufacturing had to take off without pay for plant shutdown week.

The employee contribution went up significantly

There is no vacation cap for senior prof band and up. You can take as much as you like. For lower bands you get 3 weeks.+ 5 personal days + 5 sick days. Vacation bumps to 4 weeks after 5 years.

decent 401k Match and health benefits

When I worked there (I don't think it's like this anymore), we got offered a pension plan. I think they do greater 401k matching now, which provides greater benefits to those who don't stay employed by GE long enough to become vested under the old policy.

GOOD: Health insurance coverage,401K matching,Vacation & Sick days. BAD: Have to use up all vacation days by years end.Cannot move unused vacation time to following year.

401k (GE Retirement & Savings Plan) - automatic 3% GE contribution + 50% GE match up to 8% employee contribution Vacation - 3 weeks / PTO - 2 weeks (80 hours) / Sick days - 4 weeks (160 hours) / 12 paid holidays Competitive health benefits - 3 options to choose from

Work life balance as long as you make it a known priority. Otherwise, they will drain you dry if you allow it.

The GE package is very competitive with many tops companies
