Pros

FMP (Corporate) - Great leadership development program. GE has a particularly strong finance department with a top-notch focus on training/development for FMPs. Excellent networking opportunities. Great managers. Top performers are treated well and given preference when considering future job assignments, special projects and perks.

Cons

Corporate culture is all about drinking the GE koolaid. Whenever the powers that be come up with a new initiative/buzzword, for instance the finance department pushed "simplification", the results are usually just lip service. The irony in spending countless hours on draft after draft after draft of beautifully formatted powerpoint pitches explaining the benefits of "simplification" seems to be lost on management.

Pros

Career development. Their leadership programs are key to providing a very strong network and a skill set that will serve you the rest of your career.

Cons

If you're unable to network you may feel stuck in what you are doing. If you are remote your results will be the your only chance to develop relationships to help advance your career.
