Not the GE everyone knows

Pros

Brand name has great value, GE has its age and maturity in certain aspects such as ethics and culture.

Cons

GE is a massive company, and every business has its own experience. Rating GE as a whole is difficult. From the Engineering perspective, GE is no longer the innovator it used to be in the 1980s. After GE exited the "technology" arena into "capital", the engineering legacy was dispersed and lost in its divestures and closures.

Constantly challenging

Pros

Great multinational to work for. Truly global work, top quality people, risk taking company. Constantly challenging. Integrity from top to bottom.

Cons

No real job stability. Restructuring and reorganisations every couple of years. Been with GE for almost 10 years now in different roles. You can do great work but every 2-3 years you will be under threat of redundancy due to re-orgs. Also seems to me that the more senior roles remain in the US.

Great company going through painful transition

Pros

Great development opportunities. Plenty of opportunity to move between divisions, allowing you to learn across multiple industries. Really smart people work here. Permissive work leave and flexible work arrangements in some cases.

Cons

Change fatigue. Rash decision being made to move the stock price at the expense of people. The Alstom acquisition has proven to be a big mistake in terms of quality, operational excellence, and the fact that it is a terrible cultural fit.
