Pros

Experience, Exposure, Resume builder. The brand is powerful for both customers and prospective employees. Individual actions have a greater impact with so much resources behind you. Leadership programs are an excellent means to acquire a good perspective of the company and opportunities within the business. GE spends more on training than another other company i've seen.

Cons

Patience required, as the opportunity ladder takes a while to climb. Insiders are promoted first, so don't expect to come in quickly and change things. Locations are not glamorous and usually in a low cost manufacturing area. If you have a family that is bearable and affordable. If your looking for a fun single scene then look elsewhere.

Pros

Large company, lots of different groups to work with, used to be a solid stock to own too. Benefits are pretty reasonable.

Cons

Very large company, feels very small. Not that easy to move around the company. Not a lot of sharing within the company. I spend a lot of time doing nothing while I was there, and a lot of my projects ended up getting cancelled after I put a lot of time into them. Pay raises are not great even if you work very hard.

Pros

I interned for GE as an INROADs intern. I was in a remote site so it limited my interaction with other interns but there were still many opportunities to connect with other interns. GE hosted many cyber events to share internship experiences and career advancement opportunities. GE takes care of its employees with a fair compensation plan and actual pension plan.

Cons

My site was small so there were limited opportunities for advancement. The company is also huge so you may feel a little bit lost amongst it all.
