Pros

After working for GE, you can pretty much write your ticket anywhere. They are known for working you hard in very lean environment. As long as you are doing your job, you are not under the microscope

Cons

little to no work/life balance. Mgmt and colleagues are more interested in making a name for themselves so watch your back. If you get an inexperienced manager, they can make your life miserable. Too many leadership kids (silver spoon kids) on a fast track get promoted and are clueless. The company has a reputation of running their people on empty.

Pros

Good benefits, great global support system, good opportunities for career growth and training. Working in cross functional teams helps create exposure to other groups and people.

Cons

Can be difficult to access some information; People aren't always willing to help. So many workflows and processes can actually inhibit productivity, albeit necessary for tracking.

Pros

It is a large global company. You can move into other open positions at GE

Cons

I was laid off after many years. Close to retirement. Told I was being replaced by a contract nurse. It didn't matter I only had a few years to retirement nor could my immediate boss offer any input . It was a higher up decision. Loyalty and hard work of the blue collar population doesn't mean anything to the higher up. I worked so hard there. Made a lot of improvements in the day to day operation. I will always have this gut reaction of disgust and distaste whenever I see that GE logo .
