      GE has provided me with unbelievable opportunities. I never would have imagined that I'd be doing the things I am doing.

      Pros

      The obvious reasons to work at GE are its excellent history and reputation, wide breadth of industries, excellent training and many, many opportunities. There are endless types of jobs, locations and industries within GE. Less obvious reasons to work at GE are the excellent people. Not only is the GE leadership top notch, but the competency of the average employee is extremely high. Most people want to get the job done. People are very smart and very passionate about their jobs. The size and influence of GE is impressive. Whenever you encounter a problem in your job, you can tap the entire company's resources to help. Lastly, the global nature of many of GE's businesses make it an exciting place to work. I have friends and collegues all over the world and have had many opportunites to travel around the world.

      Cons

      Work/life balance is not always the best at GE. Additionally, GE's strict penny pinching can get tiresome.

      Great place to work, less competitive benefit package

      Pros

      Great career advancement for fresh graduates if joining one of the leadership programs like FMP, IMLP and OMLP. Senior leadership team are great at leading people and developping people. Communincation within the company are great, voices can be heard and opinions are being valued. Its a fair place in terms of promotion and salary increase. Not so bad in work life balance, you typically will not be over loaded all the time. working in GE is like working in so many other big companies. there are always opportunites out there if you work hard and have a good performance and network.

      Cons

      Salary is way below market pay. After 2-3 years working in GE you can make double the money somwhere else, however, you will be facing the trade off of career advancement in GE or the high pay somewhere else you don't have a root. Then you are thinking, when I have all these good network here, why do I bother to work somewhere else? Well, the reason is, you get paid much lower than your peers like schoolmates in other companies, facing the housing prices, gas prices and all the temptation outside of GE, you will be always struggling whether you want moeny or just a great place to work for. Well, usually the former is more important, and thats the reason a lot of people quit GE.

      Dissappointed

      Pros

      Pretty relaxed atmosphere. Unlimited sick time, and nice cubicles. Pride of working for a major multinational corporation with a great reputation. Fairly relaxed atmosphere and no dress code. Business class air travel when on overseas business. Free cookies and treats at various places throughout the building. Free parking.

      Cons

      Operation is falling apart, the result of a lack of product development and declining sales. Limited training opportunities. Management won't match oil and gas salaries and professionals are leaving for oil and gas firms. Old technology and no clear plan to update the product line. No 'excitement' of working for a growing company, and hence, limited opportunities for advancement.
