Pros

GE can be a good place to work, especially early in one's career, as having GE on your resume adds some credibility. It is a culture that fosters honest feedback, which is hard to come by at some companies.

Cons

You really have to be able to push back on your boss when overloaded here. Many employees have a horrible work/life balance, and get burned out quickly. There is definitely a culture of CYA here, since lots of people get fired, and everyone is always looking for scapegoats.

Pros

Great for gathering experience. Good Work life balance Conflicting personalities does not get you let go like other places.

Cons

Wages for non-union personnel in the Othersal band like all Techs barely keeps up with Union/Assembly Wages. Company values college far more than experience or real accomplishments, a fresh bachelors means more to them for promotions than someone who has saved over ten million dollars.
