Pros

You can learn all about power plants, if that is your interest.

Cons

- I joined GE from Honeywell, at the time of joining I was told that I have unlimited vacation time and I gladly joined as I was getting these benefits already at Honeywell along with free food. After 6 months I am being told that I have 22 days vacation time! I feel like being cheated, the company that can not stand by its words speaks volumes about its ethics. - It's stressful to work at GE with no benefits as such, to a point that I suffered from stress induced acute anxiety at work and have to be on medications. Even for attending my daughter's event for an hour I was pointed out and told to take PTO while many just loiter at work place for hours or WFH while they work at other places on that day. I complained to the HR but all they did was pacification and no action on my request to change my boss/ relocate to another team. - It's a dog eat dog world in here, no concept of collaboration what so ever. New hires like me we told specifically not to collaborate even when we the bandwidth.
