Pros

Very bright people, great career opportunities and challenging jobs. For employees starting their careers it has wonderful leadership programs at entry levels that help you develop your professional skillset. The company has some of the brightest folks and a strong management bench so early on in your career you can learn and grow.

Cons

Work-life balance, highly political environment, internal promotions highly biased on network and not necessarily based on competence and skillset. GE is a demanding environment so work life balance is not part of the culture if you want to get ahead. After entry level jobs or leadership programs have been completed the career progression is heavily based on networking. People get promoted based on networking and behavior more then on their job performance, competence or skillset.

Pros

You get the chance to work with some of the smartest people across industry. The management is top notch, and the grooming for the top performers keeps the pipeline full. It's not uncommon to see GE alumni in top executive jobs across the country. In my opinion, this is only because GE has an over supply of leaders, and unfortunately, there isn't enough room for all the talent that is brought up.

Cons

Being a top performer generally entails more than 40 hour weeks. GE does like to run lean and efficiently, meaning the peak times will require you and your team to give a little more than your salary covers. Also, the new focus on specialization and expertise has narrowed the career paths somewhat. Cross-functional opportunities are much harder to find.

Pros

Exciting industry, good opportunities all over the country. Having the GE resume will look good on your resume later on. If you complete a leadership program, your opportunities for advancement are excellent within the company.

Cons

long hours, getting stuck doing the "dirty" work. don't always get to see end result of your work. GE has a very strong corporate culture. It's easy to get lost and mixed up in the corporate/cubicle culture. Sometimes, work seems meaningless and non-value adding. If you are working in business, GE does not encourage you to go back and get your MBA.
