Pros

It is a gigantic solid company which is interested in both, satisfied clients and satisfying employees. GE will try for you to be healty and happy inside and outside the office. I offers varios programs to the employees to mantain a good helth, offers some basical medication to all employees to prevent contagious viruses to affect the work of everyone. Inside GE teams are very supportive with each others. As in every company, you are supposed to do your work and if you don´t do that someone will be afected besides you or you can even affect much more preople.

Cons

Your advance in your professional life will be slow, as it would be in any average company. Because GE is not fireing people avery day, you will take a while to go up in the herarchy and get more responsibilities and increase your salary. If you are looking for a little above average job in a solid company your will be fine in here. This way you could raise or mantain a family with a good level of confidence that your job is going good. But if you are looking for something extraordinary were you could risk a little bit more and get better experiences, try somewere else.

Pros

The potential to advance is there if one is willing to work for it. They train for the job, and the pay is awesome, as well as the benefits and extras. They are supportive in and out of the job. It is a challenging job, but not so challenging that one cannot learn to do it. It is a very friendly and fun atmosphere. Probably the best job I have ever had.

Cons

The only downside I have found is that they don't coordinate to have the same technician on the job. I have ended up starting half way through someone else's job and it does get confusing.

Pros

GE provides good training and job responsibilty for day one. Work atmosphere is very good and most people pulling on the same the string.

Cons

The company is too bureaucratic and therefore has long response time and little recognition from higher management for work. Furthermore, the company is so large that you are just one of many gear wheels and can be easily replaced, which can feel a bit daunting at some stages. Poor work environment, unless you fancy to work in a container next to a power plan, above a workshop or in a warehouse.
