Pros

Extremely well run global company with a clear vision of how events around the world will impact the business. A solid team environment where one can be expected to be stretched in order to reach the company goals. Strong history of innovation; long string of firsts with respect to new technology inventions and/or technology commercialisation. Without exception everyone in management respects their team members and works to find a work-life balance in a demanding environment. Given an opportunity I would gladly return to work for GE.

Cons

Often times the business will not fund a new development effort until a competitor is perceived to have reached a break-through technology. Very difficult to move from one business unit to another without putting yourself in harm's way.

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.
