Pros

GE is a large company, so if you find the right place / unit some really amazing things can be achieved....but unfortunately the number idiots has increased multifold since Jack left. Nonetheless, the real GE spirit is still there, it is just harder to find under the Harvard Business School leadership of Immelt.

Cons

Culture is very political since Jack Welch left and the company no longer expects its managers to understand strategy and lead innovation,...this is now "outsourced" to McKinsey and the like. Under Immelt the name of your MBA school has become more important then what you actually know.

Pros

Opportunity for growth within the business you're in, and EXTERNAL to that business. You can transfer from business to business easily, and build continuity of service within ONE company so that you can take your benefits with you as you change businesses and grow your experience.

Cons

long hours, hard work, and sometimes expectations that are impossible to achieve. Also there seems to be wasted time and dollars on programs some senior leaders wish to have completed, yet if you take the view of the people using these tools or outcome of programs... the benefits are really there. Senior Leaders need to listen to the bottom rung more often, and more carefully.
