      Pros

      GE is a very competitive business, they make products that they can sell for a profit. Being an engineer it is a great opportunity to get involved with the business side of the products. You will learn not only how to create robust designs but also how to establish the value of different features.

      Cons

      Competitiveness can be a positive as well as a negative. There are a lot of really talented employees at GE, and at the end of the year you will find yourself being rated against your co-workers. If you perform well and work hard you will get recognized, however if you don't you might need to seek out alternative employment.

      A great place to hone your business skills, but not somewhere to stay forever.

      Pros

      Simply put, GE is a very stimulating place to work. Many of the politics and horrible things of working for other negatives of working at less respected companies are just not there at GE. Specifically, GE is the most results focused place I've ever worked. Its a place where what you are doing and going to do are far more important than what you say you can do and what you did last month. Its a place driven by the next big idea, not sitting around talking about the last great idea. There is one simple thing about GE that separates it from the other companies i've worked for... at GE, there is no tolerance to spend so long patting yourself on the back... its all about figuring out the best way to win in the marketplace.

      Cons

      Its certainly not the perfect place to work. Often, GE is too focused on coming up with the next great widget - and not the customers or consumers that actually use the products. I would say they are just good at marketing, not great... but certainly getting better. Also, its a pretty "thin" place to work... as in each person has a great deal of responsibility...this is good because you can do a lot in your job, but a negative because if someone leaves, or if someone stinks at their job, it really makes a big difference to everyone else in the organization.
