Pros

GE as a whole offers a wider possibility of internal career advancement than any other company with which I am familiar. Internal hirings are common and often strongly preferred. The culture both demands success and provides employees with all the tools necessary to achieve success.

Cons

GE has a rigorous way of doing things that is very unique to GE. The manner in which issues are communicated across the business is sometimes a bit awkward in comparison to other companies with which I have worked. As a "lean" organization, technology for business applications is largely outdated as sometimes not viewed as a necessity.

Pros

GE is fast paced, high energy workplace.

Cons

The business is underesourced and therefore the priorities I work on tend to be "fire drill" type of items instead of thoughtfully planned out objectives.

Pros

The EID co-op program provides great opportunities for career development -- especially if you're interested in applying for GE's leadership programs -- and provides competitive salaries and benefits. If you're willing to take on a large project, GE will be more than happy to give it to you.

Cons

EID interns don't technically get paid sick days but most managers will let you take them off anyway or let you make up hours.
