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.
