GE Challenging, Educational place to work

Pros

I've worked for GE for 10 years and I've been very satisified with my job. The salary is very good, the benefits have been great although they have recently changed. It's challenging and you learn a lot about business and industry. It's especially great for college graduates who can get into one of the leadership programs because they get exposure to many different businesses and leadership. I've always been supported in taking time off when necessary for my family. I believe that most management at GE tries to help employees have a good work/life balance.

Cons

It's demanding. GE employees work hard...most more than the standard 40 hour week. There can be a lot of pressure to perform but hard workers are rewarded. It can be hard for newcomers to adapt to some of the processes and terminology used internally. Not a company for thin skinned people who can handle constructive criticism and demanding expectations.

Pros

GE is undoubtedly the biggest conglomerate within the US. Therefore, the transitional placement within the company is endless. You can be an engineer, a financial analyst, etc.

Cons

Like a double edged sword, while GE provides some of the best education for its employees, it sticks to only that. Most of the employees at GE can be seen to only be working strictly for GE for the rest of their lives, simply because it is difficult to transition to other companies outside of GE. (i.e. GE's FMP program is a replacement for business school)
