GE is a great company to jumpstart your career

Pros

Bredth of opportunities across a wide range of industries. Great people to work with and are NICE people, which is apparently a rare occurance (especially within the finance field). People who are mid level managers to senior managers are very smart, quick witted, and definitely a breed of their own. Seems like you need to be very competent to stay within GE, but will be rewarded hansomly if you can stick it through. Lots of opportunity for growth, and a very lean firm structure considering the 300,000+ employees it hires.

Cons

Bureaucratic, lots of red tape, but still working to improve it.

Pros

Internal Training for people starting their careers. People can find it useful to get some GE training and experience for a couple of years and then move on to more stable employment where internal politics dont trump everything

Cons

1. Confusion, turmoil, churning resulting from attempts to achieve "Dashboard" metrics goals. 2. The pain of being stuck in a job where your boss and their middle management bosses are self promoting, Lost in Space- Dr Smith types. GE Energy promotes "leaders" who never had and seldom achieve competence or long term experience in the areas where they lead. 10% of the middle managers actually have experience with the product lines they proport to manage i.e. Appliance leader talking to paper mill energy manager. 3. Long term employment prospects are greatly dimmed by losses in technology for its new equipment and retirement of their technical experts. "You can buy better but you wont pay more." 4. Processes and equipment created with the design for six sigma and toll gate systems will create dread and pain for all employees involved. Avoid if at all possible
