Pros

GE will pay for your mba with no contract. i believe they will also pay for your undergrad if you can get into GE prior to getting your bachelors. You will also get to know a lot about processes. GE is a process driven company and you the process you learn here can be taken into any business inside or outside of GE and be used. I know I will use the skills i learned here to start my own business and work within a business to bussiness selling environment. There is also a hundered different places to move.

Pros

Good benefits, global company, generally smart people work there, lots of opportunity if you are willing to move and be flexible. Good opportunities for training and personal development. Good recognition of brand and company and adds lots of credibility to your resume.

Cons

Work-life balance can be difficult, lots of bureaucracy, type-A personality dominates. Sometimes it can seem as if certain people are "chosen" to be successful and are then coddled and promoted regardless of their performance.
