Pros

Its GE. One of the largest companies in the world. They have lots of opportunity to grow, and push you to do your best.

Cons

Poor Mid Management. Senior management is solid, but mid management is often unqualified and very rude and difficult to work with.

Pros

GE is making decent revenue in this economy despite being labeled "a bank". For the most part, experienced professionals at GE are smart, hard working, process oriented and respectful. I work with bright people who really want to make a difference despite cost cutting. High integrity. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Employee compensation and benefits nowhere near where they used to be. You DO NOT work for GE for the pay or benefits anymore. Those days are over. Only those in leadership training programs get the worthwhile promotions...regardless of their knowledge and accomplishments. Budgets have been cut so drastically, you'll be working with MS Office 2000 and IE 6. Projects for the past few years have been focused on cost cutting. Not really any good new projects.

Pros

Good experience overall. Assignments were moderately challenging, however, sometimes the lack of interest of managers would kill the motivation.

Cons

I felt that GE is too focused on corporate greed than caring about their employees. It's strictly an OK place to work. If you have the caliber and skills, there are better places to work than GE. The sheer size of the company is intimidating and causes massive inefficiencies throughout the organization.
