Pros

The leadership programs provide young professionals with the necessary skills to become successful. Because many of the programs are rotational, it's a good opportunity to see many different sides of the overall GE business. Be warned that most programs do not share rotations outside each specific GE business. For instance, if you're and Edison at GE Aviation, you won't be able to do a rotation at GE Healthcare without pulling some serious strings.

Cons

Certain divisions are understaffed, especially when a product is being completed and rushed out the door. This results in employees working very long hours.

Pros

Great experience and people to learn from. Looks great on the resume. The company has many opportunities for development and you can take your career in any direction that you want to go. The people were extremely friendly and welcoming to the company. You can talk to your senior manager when ever you need to, no need to schedule an appointment. They give you plenty of responsibility, as much as you can handle. This gives you direct vision by upper management and opens the potential for career progression.

Cons

Some of the locations are not ideal, but you could transfer within the company to another location that may be more suiting for you.

Pros

Exciting industry, good opportunities all over the country. Having the GE resume will look good on your resume later on. If you complete a leadership program, your opportunities for advancement are excellent within the company.

Cons

long hours, getting stuck doing the "dirty" work. don't always get to see end result of your work. GE has a very strong corporate culture. It's easy to get lost and mixed up in the corporate/cubicle culture. Sometimes, work seems meaningless and non-value adding. If you are working in business, GE does not encourage you to go back and get your MBA.
