GE is not what they say it is...you have to be on the inside to realize that...

Pros

Not sure...management is more concerned with white people than any group. If you look to get into one of the training programs and you're not white...good luck! My home is in Boston, MA but they sent me to Atlanta, GA because I'm black. Meanwhile someone from Texas was sent to the Connecticut office.

Cons

Selling your soul to the company. Not worth it at all...GE does not care about its employees. All they care about is working you out to death so they can make profits. Something funny happened when I interviewed at Fairfield, CT. Going to the cafeteria, the program manager walked with me outside but getting back she took me to the basement. That was a low point because she did not want people to see me with her....I'm black and very good looking guy. I pretended I didn't understand...Very racist company because the people are much older.

Pros

The company is trying to go from a 4.5 billion dollar industry to a 10 billion dollar industry by 2010 so there are more and more opportunities to shine in that environment.

Cons

It's a get it done or go home type of atmosphere. So you need to make contacts fast so that you can produce on all your goals and more than your manager sets up for you.
