Pros

-Meritocracy, the better you perform the more highly you are valued. -Excellent people around you. -Large breadth of knowledge withing company -Great mentors are available if you take advantage of them. -Opportunities to move between businesses

Cons

-work/life balance -compensation is below average You can easily work as many hours as you can spare. This is actually encouraged. The beauracracy that comes with a large company is very prevalent. Sometimes very difficult to make the right moves and decisions due to red tape and "the process".

Pros

GE is a big company with many opportunities to move around or up in. My division is extremely flexible regarding schedules and people's personal needs. It sounds like that is a company wide attribute as well. The benefits are decent as well.

Cons

Every division or site seems to be different so I don't know if there are any real company wide downsides. It is a large company so it can be difficult to figure out the company wide systems. My impression is that the company tends to value managers more than non-management employees which is good or bad depending on your point of view.
