Good place to start out, but gets old very quick.

Pros

Large company, lots of different groups to work with, used to be a solid stock to own too. Benefits are pretty reasonable.

Cons

Very large company, feels very small. Not that easy to move around the company. Not a lot of sharing within the company. I spend a lot of time doing nothing while I was there, and a lot of my projects ended up getting cancelled after I put a lot of time into them. Pay raises are not great even if you work very hard.

GE is a great place for interns

Pros

I interned for GE as an INROADs intern. I was in a remote site so it limited my interaction with other interns but there were still many opportunities to connect with other interns. GE hosted many cyber events to share internship experiences and career advancement opportunities. GE takes care of its employees with a fair compensation plan and actual pension plan.

Cons

My site was small so there were limited opportunities for advancement. The company is also huge so you may feel a little bit lost amongst it all.

Pros

The leadership programs provide young professionals with the necessary skills to become successful. Because many of the programs are rotational, it's a good opportunity to see many different sides of the overall GE business. Be warned that most programs do not share rotations outside each specific GE business. For instance, if you're and Edison at GE Aviation, you won't be able to do a rotation at GE Healthcare without pulling some serious strings.

Cons

Certain divisions are understaffed, especially when a product is being completed and rushed out the door. This results in employees working very long hours.
