Pros

Place where I work is so-so... But main offices in GE are FANTASTIC... After I started at GE, I have been receiving many calls including ones from Apple.. Great Brand Name!

Cons

GE spun off many divisions and is shrinking. Very intense work culture. They prefer to grow only OMLP graduates.... quickly up the ranks. REMEMBER: leaders cannot be made, they are only born
