Not the same company anymore ... lost basic roots of operational execution focus
Pros
Very bright people, great career opportunities and challenging jobs. For employees starting their careers it has wonderful leadership programs at entry levels that help you develop your professional skillset. The company has some of the brightest folks and a strong management bench so early on in your career you can learn and grow.
Cons
Work-life balance, highly political environment, internal promotions highly biased on network and not necessarily based on competence and skillset. GE is a demanding environment so work life balance is not part of the culture if you want to get ahead. After entry level jobs or leadership programs have been completed the career progression is heavily based on networking. People get promoted based on networking and behavior more then on their job performance, competence or skillset.
