Pros

Great Pay and benefits, work - life balance ,

Cons

Very unproductive environment, needs to go through a real " lean " program, internally focused , not on the customer. Top down management is obsolete. Too many VP's, need to simplify and reduce needless meetings, reports and presentations.

Pros

GE holds the FMPs in high regard. Almost all senior leaders are FMP grads and will want to help you succeed. The path to high levels of management is laid out, and is attainable, but you must literally give your life to GE to get it.

Cons

People at GE do not know how to relax. They are very concerned with the numbers of hours they work, often staying at the office doing literally nothing so that people can see that they are there late. They love to brag about how many hours they work. A disturbing majority of the Finance employees have either never been married, or are married to someone in GE.
