Working in the World of GE.

Pros

GE is a global network of professional opportunity. The company affords great benefits - including a flexible work schedule that enables one to truly work towards a healthy work/life balance. This has been key for me personally. I have been with GE for 6 years and was able to work from home for 4 of those.

Cons

Can be highly political, very intense...if one does function well in a pressure cooker then this probably wouldn't be the best work environment for him/her. As mentioned above the having the flexibility to work from how was a great perk. However, the downside is that there is never really a day off...it's a highly competitive work environment and it can be somewhat relentless. It was not uncommon to have to address work issues and to work on holidays, weekends and vacations. No one in the business ever truly shuts down or turns off work.

Good place to learn

Pros

Good opportunity for personal and professional growth IF you take advantage of everything offered. Better than average benefits. Salary is low compared to national averages.

Cons

Don't expect your manager to discuss "career path" with you. You need to create and mold your own career path. Take advantage of education opportunities offered.

Pros

GE is an outstanding place to learn and grow. Excellent senior management. When we have access to them, we learn a tremendous amount. GE offers great training and a culture of training and growth. People really do love working for GE and that enthusiasm helps motivate employees. I also feel that good work and analysis is well rewarded at GE. If you go above and beyond, you will be recognized. However, if you just do the standard work and perform fairly, GE will keep you around but you will never advance. GE seems to keep people around for a long time despite strong or poor performance.

Cons

Bureaucracy can at times be stifling and employees are not empowered to make decisions. It would help to have more transparency within the company. Employees don't often know what is going on. Some senior leaders are excellent with communication and even during hard times, they are honest and straightforward with employees. Other senior leaders need to learn these lessons as well. Another downside is that there is no known clear path to promotions. People really don't know what to do to get promoted. There is sometimes a black box for how decisions are made. Employees should have a better understand of this.
