      Pros

      It looks really good on your resume. The company's name has some prestige to it.

      Cons

      Top management would not talk to you if you were a lowly analyst. They work you to the bone and don't pay you enough. Although GE is the top company in the world, it does not feel like that when you are working there. Alot of management had absolutely no people skills; they just knew how to work alot of hours. I had a supervisor who made inappropriate comments to interns and they did nothing. There were also a contract employee who was sexually harassing women and they did nothing with him. Alot of employees at GE hated life and their jobs.

      Pros

      Large organization has the resources to provide a good learning environment. If you have a question, you can usually find someone who is an expert in the area (the hard part is finding them). If you can get on the right track (e.g. start in one of their leadership development programs) then there is a lot of upward potential.

      Cons

      If you work in finance, expect to work on the weekends at quarter close. Expect to do more accounting than actual finance. Annual planning never stops (it just changes from SI to SII to Op Plan to whatever the new buzzword is) and there is less value in it because you do it so frequently. Financial systems are complex and may not be designed to support your business.

      Pros

      Very good at developing managers. Very successful company which will be around for many years.

      Cons

      Work it's employees too long and not much chance for advancement and not many opportunities for minorities. Also, the company gives very little back to it's employees. It's family events are very watered down and limited to not include all family members.
