      Pros

      GE is a great place to work overall. The core of GE Philosophy is personal and career growth. There is no better place to work then somewhere you are not only enabled but encouraged to grow. The company is very ethical and makes you proud to be an employee. Ideas are not only encouraged, but often you will get the support to implement them as well. Finally, the advancement opportunities are endless. If you have drive and flexibility, you can easily find a role which suits your career interests. Additionally, the company is very flexible about things like flex time, work from home, or other opportunities if you work it out with your manager.

      Cons

      Typically the job is higher stress then you might find elsewhere as the motto of GE is personal responsibility. You are always challenged to grow, which can lead to long hours and stress at times. the pay is not as competitive as some other companies for the same job, but this is offset by the growth and advancement opportunities. Many locations have poor buildings (very old) and are not a great environment to work in. Some are moldy, have shoddy bathrooms, or are generally gross. Perks are low (free coffee is about it generally), but there are things like on site fitness center and dry cleaning to offset some of the facilities issues.

      Great for those who grow up in the system, not for newcomers with advanced careers

      Pros

      GE has a great professional network and outstanding training, with ready access to internal training programs as well as willingness on the part of management to promote participation in external programs. Career development is encouraged and most of the leadership is "home grown" from within GE. The opportunities to work anywhere in the world are endless, and often times GE will accommodate the employees desire to relocate by finding a suitable position for the employee (for example, if a spouse is being transferred, GE will find a way to retain the employee within the GE network of businesses.) Also, there are many opportunities to try out different roles at different businesses within GE, not just movement within your own business unit.

      Cons

      For my particular business unit, senior management does not seem connected to employees or engaged at all in the everyday challenges the business is facing. There does not seem to be clear direction from senior management on strategic or tactical issues, nor does there appear to be any clear understanding of our competition. While they may have the vision, they are not communicating that vision with employees. Also, many of the employees are on cruise control and not interested in either changing the status quo or growing the business in any appreciable way. There doesn't seem to be any repercussions for employees who have little external/customer focus.
