Pros

GE is a great place to work for someone who is looking to work in a results driven company. They give you the opportunity to excel and will give you the tools needed whether it is additional training or management support.

Cons

The size of GE can make one feel seperated from the other areas within the organization as well as the actual operations itself.

Pros

There are many different branches and many different people that work in GE, so your ability to work on different things is endless. GE has great benefits and great training programs,

Cons

I noticed there isn't really much room to move up in GE. Most of the managers and executives were brought in from other companies and were not promoted through the ranks. If you are happy with sitting in a cubicle all your life then GE is perfect for you.

Pros

GE is making decent revenue in this economy despite being labeled "a bank". For the most part, experienced professionals at GE are smart, hard working, process oriented and respectful. I work with bright people who really want to make a difference despite cost cutting. High integrity. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Employee compensation and benefits nowhere near where they used to be. You DO NOT work for GE for the pay or benefits anymore. Those days are over. Only those in leadership training programs get the worthwhile promotions...regardless of their knowledge and accomplishments. Budgets have been cut so drastically, you'll be working with MS Office 2000 and IE 6. Projects for the past few years have been focused on cost cutting. Not really any good new projects.
