Pros

Pros - exposure to leading technology solutions in truly global markets, excellent managers and company has a willingness to develop talent

Cons

Cons - Inefficient transfer of knowledge/people/communications between businesses, disciplines and functions. Hugely bureaucratic and inevitably political. GE Corporate propaganda basically spams your inbox with dozens of email per day.

Pros

GE is a larger company that has a lot of resources and is not ever really hurting for money. Because of that it is very easy to get help and to try new things.

Cons

In my area there is a very strict advancement schedule which was a big factor in my resignation. It is a big company and you are often feel lost. There were times that I felt like employees were not valued much.

Pros

Interesting technology. Always something to learn

Cons

I am surprised so many people on this site are satisfied with GE. The employee experience for myself and virtually every other colleague I speak with is one of disappointment. This is reinforced by a high turnover of personel. The reputation for training GE has does not take place in my business unit, the quality at times is embarrasing. The disconnect between employees and leaders is vast. There is no support, teamwork, or cooperation. It is standard for emails not to be responded to. When we are the face of GE to the Customer we need support at times, it is not there. The was actually an article on the GE intranet last week called "Culture Shock" where it talked about the "exodus"of people. This too was reinforced by the internal GEOS (GE Opinion Survey) which confirms my comments. The culture in my business unit is subpar, period. I am looking internally to get out of the unit I am in, otherwise life is too short to work here.
