Pros

Many opportunities. Signficant latent capability in terms of technology and market power to utilize

Cons

Broken session C process (annuan HR process for promotions, evaluations etc). GE culture of meritocracy in advanced stage of decay. A generation of weak leaders are now in place and continue to groom same. Evidence is in the repeated misses in critical areas, lack of preparation for and sluggish response to the economic crisis and the embarrassing outperformance of GE by Siemens... a competitor with a demonstrated track record of no integrity.

Pros

Historically- Very sound leadership in middle & upper management positions. The opportunity to enroll in leadership coursework that is unsurpassed in American Business. Quality products with a loyal customer base in multiple markets.

Cons

Headquarters for Energy in Atlanta has become oversensitive to promoting women, increasing minority headcount and generally ultra focused on cultural diversity. It is actually difficult to find people working there that know what energy business products and services we provide. Those without 10+ years seem to be in a world of their own and more concerned with social & business networking than serving our customers and working past 5 PM.

Pros

Great training place for anyone who is passionate for business. There are a lot great and competent people who works in GE C&I, you definitely can learn a lot from various projects and assignments. Taking constructive feedbacks and react to those negatives quickly are important in the company, they will help you to move up in the organization. Networking is one of the best tools to get promoted to your next job.

Cons

Tough business, cash focused, short-term focused, low salary, Industrial business model does not mix well with consumer product business.
