Pros

GE management is top notch. Good decision makers in the right place. You should be an over achiever in order to work or succeed here.

Cons

GE has a great name, because of that a lot of people want to work for them. Therefore, the pay might not be as competitive as needed.

Pros

GE recognizes talent/motivation, and does a great job of providing those individual's with opportunities to advance their careers and improve their skills.

Cons

HR gave a presentation about how they aim to pay 5-20% below market value, but they make up for it with great benefits. Six months later, they tanked the benefits plans, which was basically a 5k pay cut for every non-executive in the company. Most of the people I know left for their spouses plan... If that was an option.

Pros

Starting salary is good, the pension for older employees (which is no longer offered to new hires), starting vacation time and vacation growth, freedom to come and go as you please as long as your work gets done, freedom to take time off whenever you feel like.

Cons

Salary grows at a snails pace, management does not know you exist, promotions don't appear to be given out on a performance basis but instead by nepotism, long hours, little reward, subjective performance evaluation system, senior management consistently makes decision that aren't transparent to anyone below them, constantly having to do useless hr activities, constantly have to take useless online training, constantly forces to do activities that reduce your productivity, engineer is done by a large committee (everyone feels they should be involved regardless of how small GE project is)
