Pros

Money and benefits were good. There is a lot of room for promotion if you're willing to play the politics.

Cons

Watch your back. People working for General Electric are way too competitive. If you want to get promoted you have to be on your game at all times.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to move and go anywhere in the world. They seem to avoid layoffs but they do have them.

Cons

Still have the Jack Welch mentality to fire the bottom 5-7% each year even if it is unwarranted. Very slow career advancement. You've got to be very good at you job and the politics to move up. Otherwise it's just hoping to hang on.

Pros

Experience working for a dynamic Fortune 100 company. Pay and benefits are competitive. GE provides a number of options for career growth.

Cons

Bureaucratic environment and communication is lost through the different levels of leadership. Slow to make changes on projects and business strategies. Too many different systems (piece-mealed together) in order to support job functions.
