A hall of foggy mirrors.

Pros

Plenty of young professionals with similar experiences. A great place for networking. Unlimited databases of information to learn from. Industry insights.

Cons

The pay is mediocre at best. Diversity is a joke. They do just enough not to raise suspicion. Diversity Employee Resource Groups have no real importance unless there is a PR opportunity. The company is a labyrinth of silos. The different departments have almost no communication. Though cross-functional access of info would be useful for all sides, it is almost impossible to achieve and there is no real effort to fix it.

Pros

Free parking. Onsite cafeteria with a pretty view.

Cons

A never ending stream of layoffs as top execs from GE slowly but surely migrate the workforce "offshore". They hired the lowest cost outsourcing firm, which naturally has the lowest talent employees, so you'll spend many long hours fixing their mistakes. This will be punctuated by a constant introduction of new and improved processes - all of which are incompatible with prior processes - and a nervous discussion of how to get to compliance as the sands shift under your feet.
