Pros

Benefits - working from home, flexi-hours, 10% pension contribution, discounted healthcare

Cons

Training ban effective for the last 5 years (formerly Alstom), career growth is impossible unless you are tapped on the shoulder. International structure is heavily flawed - your line management is 5 - 8 hours outside your time zone, no visibility of your strengths or efforts. Workforce is not motivated due to constant re-structuring. Doesn't matter how good you are at your job, you might be out of a job next year.

Pros

GE has some of the best and brightest people to work with. The work-life balance has really improved in recent years.

Cons

Wall Street perception is so important to leadership that it appears all-consuming at times. The corporate bureaucracy and layer upon layer of reviews is not efficient.
