Pros

The challenges we get to work on, help solve some of the most difficult problems in the world. We get to solve problems at a global level and a large organization like GE provides the necessary scale to make it happen.

Cons

The company recognizes individuals who can "manage" upward communication and are better at "influencing" and working the system. Expertise, execution and delivering over and above your goals and objectives is a significantly lesser factor in recognition and career advancement. Hopefully this gives you an indication what you need to succeed at GE and if you have the necessary traits as mentioned in the first sentence, you will be very successful at GE.

Pros

Pay was appropriate for the position. Management was active.

Cons

They expect employees to give free overtime. Salary is expected to work overtime without reason. Hourly are expected to work overtime without pay, even if there is a reason. Management will protect themselves first. No one is truly good at their job because employees are constantly being moved.
