Pros

Great work life balance. Always thinks ahead of the time. Invests in future and breakthrough technologies to keep its businesses and people best prepared for the future. Provides aome of the best learning oportunities. Demands best peformance, not aplace for just earning your living. If you love to compete and win, this is the place, otherwise you will not survive for long. The company is brutal when it comes to cutting slack.

Cons

Size of the company is sometimes a disadvantage but usually an advantage. Those who join GE later in their career do not get the same level of attention/support compared to the candidates coming from its MT programme, even if you are the best, expect to be counted 2nd best.
