Pros

Great opportunities to move around all the GE businesses. Great name to have on resume for submitting resumes at other companies

Cons

Horrible Benefits package. No job stability in current economy. Management only interested in amount of work accomplished and not substance.

Pros

From day one you get great exposure to great leaders and business folks. This program is a continuous learning experience where the company provides all the tools necessary to stay to date on your field and what’s happening with the business. There’s always a chance to provide your opinion and show that you have what it takes to add value. You do not only learn from your area but from all business functional areas and components. Salary is fair compared to the market. There are plenty of opportunities to move up in the business and also find what you like to do.

Cons

Sometimes there are too much leaders with low technical skills since they are delegated to vendors, contractor and other groups. People can get very rough during meetings and push unrealistic timelines and can be very harsh. If you do not consider yourself with the skills of pushing what you want when you want it and do whatever it takes to get what you want across GE is certainly not your environment.

Pros

As an intern, your experience will vary depending on your assignment and group. During my two summers there, the culture and atmosphere was very different between two locations (the more technical roles seemed more casual and laid-back). You are surrounded by very competent people, who are most of the time more than willing to help. The level of expectation people have for you as an intern will also vary. To make the most of it, you should be very proactive. GE is a very large company that likely offers what you want, somewhere.

Cons

Interns seem to get special treatment compared with some new hires. Aside from the Edison program, mobility and advancement in the company can be challenging and is largely up to you. Edison Leadership program is very competitive. Decisions seemed almost arbitrary.
