Pros

Good for experience in the large corporation realm. GE tends to like mobility so perfect if you only want to gain experience in various products. You also will have opportunities to recommend many improvements. GE has the money to spend to try new equipment and processes.

Cons

GE has cut many of the former benefits. Newcomers will have fewer and fewer benefits, from pensions to healthcare in retirement to vacation time. Their IT department is poor, so you can expect to be using old and clunky software, generally not the latest/greatest.

Pros

Big company with lot of opportunities to work on projects & technologies. Detailed and process oriented work environment. Great people and good managers.

Cons

Bad local management who are more concerned about their own growth in GE. Long hours without rewards (lot of leadership & business people have to vouch for you to get a promotion, you are at a disadvantage as there is no leadership or business in MI). VanBuren, MI locatio is a glorified contractor shop (masked as employees). No bonus & average industry salary. Benefits are pretty bad; ask any current or former employee (@ Vanburen) about health benefits. Tough bureaucracy to work with & achieve anything.
