Pros

Global company with broad opportunities in multiple fields and locations. Provides opportunities to work on large, global projects with wide impact.

Cons

Very bureaucratic. Too much effort is put into making all of the businesses the "same" rather than allowing each business to be the best in their respective markets. The GE management machine has created many managers with broad experience, but little depth, which leads to poor decision making.
