      Pros

      The have a decent benefits package and reasonable time off policy by American standards.

      Cons

      The entire organization is unable to execute. Getting simple resources like a server are next to impossible even on critical projects. You are buried in "required" training that does nothing to benefit the organization or your career. Lots of hubris throughout the organization. They talk about developing a center of excellence, but they are far from achieving any of that. The environment, and talent that is attracted to it is not the best and the brightest. Lots of customer commitments have been made for products the organization does not have the ability to deliver on.

      Doesn't live up to it's reputation

      Pros

      Highly regarded company, great advancement opportunities (for some), world class training facility (Crotonville). Senior leadership is pretty strong, middle managers are hit and miss. Lots of very smart and talented people here. Work anywhere in the world.

      Cons

      Lots of competition, internally - not just for good jobs, but lots of finger pointing to avoid having your metric look "bad". Quality is talked about, but not a lot of commitment on the part of leaders to really do what's needed. Bonus compensation limited to execs and certain other roles. Health plan stinks. Technology is old and outdated - enterprise apps are vintage 1990's, and the place still runs on spreadsheets to some degree. Outside hires have a tough time figuring out the organization's cultures and matrices.

      Pros

      GE is supportive of diversity. They truly do support growth within the organization and spend resources to make sure you get the training you need to advance.

      Cons

      GE is a large organization and things can be slow.
