      Bureaucratic Nightmares Abound, Business is Obsessed with Cost and Risk Reduction

      Pros

      Generally, GE is impressive on a resume and people who know it from earlier decades have a surprising reverence for the few remaining US employees.

      Cons

      Bureaucratic nightmares entangle in every possible task. At the present, upper management seems obsessed with cost and risk reduction as the only way to improve the company. All meaningful benefits have been stripped from employees (health, retirement, anything left is so limited as to be functionally useless).

      Manager Training Company

      Pros

      GE is one of the best places to get manager training. They have well developed processes even if they don't necessarily get used. Their Six Sigma and IMLP training pays off in the real world

      Cons

      Hyper aggressive cost based culture. As much as it can build people up, it will also tear people down and a lot of fast risers will often get "boiled" if they stay too long. Also the company is so large that one side may not know what the other side is doing. Also GE tends to hire a lot of seasoned workers from other companies such as AT&T. This will have an influence on management which can create a hostile work environment.
