Pros

You get to work with hard driving very intelligent people. Positions can be challenging where failure isn't an option. The sky is the limit on what you can achieve if you make it your goal. Working for GE is like working for many different companies at once. It's never boring and there's a new challenge every day.

Cons

Extremely high expectations with long hours required. Often work/family balance is a battle. The Appliances business is extremely competitive and foreign competition make profit margins very hard to come by. Making the numbers is the bottom line for every position. Creativity is wanted but the "GE way" sometimes gets in the way of the best ideas.

Pros

Training and development. Good templates and best practices.

Cons

Ethics and reward systems based on crony system. Incompetence and surface management are keys to getting ahead.
