Pros

Relaxed work environment, good pay, flex hours outside of close. Gym on site, work from home when you need to, and permissive time off (unlimited as long as it’s approved by a manager).

Cons

Where to start? The work migrated to the Cincinnati location was all journal entries, processes, and repetitive tasks. No real analysis work. The work you do is all random based on what team you’re placed on, and if you aren’t one of managements favorites, forget about being promoted. Career progression is confusing and extremely subjective, no official guidelines on what you have to do to be promoted. GE is obsessed with finding P&L “good guys” no matter how you can get them. The internal audit function CAS is a joke, but it gets you to be an executive. Work has moved to a horizontal approach, so you will be doing only 1 of the following if you’re in accounting at GE: Cash, Treasury, Commercial, Supply Chain, Intercompany, Payroll/T&L, Consolidation, or Tax. GE could decide at anytime to sell off another business and you will lose your job.

GE Response

Sorry to hear you don't recommend GE but appreciate your comments. GE's going through quite a bit of change so we appreciate you sharing your insights. Though things are changing, we don't always get it right and we will take your feedback under advisement.
