      Pros

      - Flexibility to work remotely - Many events with free food - Can wear jeans to work

      Cons

      - Pay is at or marginally below market rate for positions - At the mercy of "leaders" who want things done yesterday - Very political organization - Lack of work-life balance - Archaic ways of doing things that are justified as being "just how things are done"

      "I'm really happy sitting in a cubicle all day" said No one ever

      Pros

      Benefits are ok, pay is great (at least at Corporate HQ where I work) I get 4 weeks vacation per year, 50% 401k match up to 8% of salary, health insurance is mediocre at best, however I am one of the lucky ones and I was grandfathered into the defined benefit pension plan. Pay is typically above market..I will even dare to say that most people I work with are grossly overpaid. Most jobs here are low stress in the sense that you can royally screw up and suffer absolutely zero consequences whatsoever. Almost impossible to get fired from this place. There is a guy here that regularly takes naps, watches movies at his desk, takes 2 hour lunchbreaks and he got promoted and now makes $130k per year. There really is a lot of opportunity here, but like many other places networking is key! Sometimes when I tell people I work at GE they automatically think I'm smart.

      Cons

      Working here feels like Groundhog day (the Bill Murray movie)..not necessarily a bad thing, just not good either. Each day is the same as the last. A very mediocre existence. Now I'm no doctor, but sitting in a cubicle 10+ hours a day probably isn't good for your physical health or mental well being..but this problem is not exclusive to GE. Working here results in such a dormant lifestyle--my physical movement on the job is limited to walking to the mens room to drain the snake. This lack of physical mobility explains why some of my coworkers are the approximate size of a water-buffalo. What is with people taking themselves so seriously here? I work at Corporate HQ and everyone seems so pissed off all the time! This guy sitting next to me thinks he is the cats pajamas.

      Leadership lacking.

      Pros

      Good brand name. The job comes with a company car. Working from home is a perk. Customers are fun to meet with.

      Cons

      Has had annual layoffs the last 5+ years. No opportunity for career advancement. College degree required but starting salary is in the low $30's. Benefits continually being eroded. Cost of living raises in the 1-2% range annually. Management promotion offer was actually less pay than current position. Leadership uses fear as motivational tool. Middle management positions have often been cut/renamed/relocated in the past 5+ years.
