      Right hand, left hand syndrome

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stability, reputation, market expansion, positive financial status, industry growth, Fortune 10 company. There is a lot of opportunity in all their divisions for career growth. GE looks hard at promoting within. Comfortable salaries that are very competitive with the current market. Many support groups, projects and associations for every type of person and every interest and need.

      Cons

      Company is large, and sometimes the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. Some procedures are archaic and confusing. Too many rules that differ between divisions; that have nothing to do with anything; or are outdated. Favorite "line" that occurs on a daily basis: "Wait for it......"

      Small part of large company was crazier than start-up companies!

      Excellent program to begin your career at GE or elsewhere

      Financial management program

      Pros

      The financial management program is GE's leadership program in finance. The classes you take are in accounting, both managerial and financial, controls and business strategy. The classes are very useful in your role and great for general knowledge on how businesses are ran. The four roles you get on the program can make or break your experience. Personally, the roles I've received were beneficial in my career growth, with manager's that give decent feedback on your performance and help work with you on your career development.

      Cons

      There are several downsides to the program. Top of my list is the sheer amount of hours you devote towards GE. You have your normal role as expected, and you work 40+ hours a week. Like most other entry level career programs, you can expect to work 50+ or 60+ hours a week. In addition to that., you have to take the courses, which have recently become extremely time consuming. About 10+, 20+ hours a week. In the end, you spend every waking hour, breathing and living GE. Essentially the courses you study for as free training. Your managers also vary every 6 months, and I will have to say that most I've found were mediocre at best. In my four rotations at GE, I have had one manager I truly thought was exceptional. The others were not, in my opinion and in GE's opinion (given the amount of time they've spent in their current positions) "promotion-worthy." The courses for the first year is also unnecessarily demanding.
