Pros

The people are very smart and it is a great place to build fundamentals. The training opportunities for the top employees are great and you are given the opportunity to showcase your talent in all of the leadership programs.

Cons

The pay is not great comparative to other companies in the same industry. People work for GE for the brand, not the salary.

Pros

The business has developed a solid set of operating rhythms and processes that make it possible to drive growth in a diverse set of industries. Recruiting draws in top talent and expects high performance.

Cons

Leadership opportunities are generally limited to a small set of former management program participants. Entering GE in mid-career severely limits advancement opportunities.
