Work life balance a struggle

Pros

growth potential is good, networking potential while on a leadership type program, brand recognition and leveraging working for a large company

Cons

pressures to work crazy long hours make work life balance a struggle, yearly reviews are not done very fairly, too many levels in organization and lots of meetings before things can be changed

Pros

GE has many divisions and departments to switch jobs if you need to move or grow within the company. Very good benefits.

Cons

Sometimes overtime is needed, but too much can be a down-side. They do try to keep a work/family balance, but not all the time.

Pros

Plenty of career growth opportunities, company encourages employees to explore different opportunities internally. Switching between functions, businesses and countries is doable specially for high performers. Great place to learn.

Cons

For GE Energy, can't think of much cons based on my personal experience.
