Business Outlook

Pros

- It is a large company with opportunities to move around to a diverse set of technologies. - The benefits are fairly good. -Good resume builder. -GE Leaders of Tomorrow is a great way to network with fellow young employees. Travel benefits are good. - Flexible work arrangements are available to those with special needs.

Cons

Pay is significantly below the industry average (in my opinion) for engineers with little to no bonuses. Work is generally focused on maximizing profit on existing technology rather than investing in innovation. Overtime pay is limited. Employees are encouraged to work casual overtime in office without compensation.

Stable company, good benefits

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable environment, with great experience. Wealth of opportunities to expand your knowledge base. Widely respected in the business world, especially with Six Sigma added onto your resume. In my experience treated fairly, (with the occasional bump on the road).

Cons

Sometimes the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Frustration working with a large company spread all over the globe. Not necessarily a downside, depending on who you talk to, but does up the stress level; there is a constant expecation for results on a daily/quarterly basis. If you are comfortable with that it is great.
