Pros

Great place to develop your skills and be challenged. The talent working there keeps you striving for better performance all the time. Don't be shy...ask for more challenge...you'll be surprised how much they will give to you. True meritocracy ... early career and new hires have great opportunities for advancement, the same as seasoned professionals. The training and benefits are world class. Check out ecomagination.ge.com and learn about how GE is changing the future. It's amazing. Lastly, the philanthropic arm is donating money and equipment to needy orgs in US and abroad. The company is one of the most respected in the world for a reason: great talent, opportunities, advancement, growth, challenge, rewards.

Cons

Long hours, big company to navigate if you don't put in the effort to understand the organization

Pros

General Electric has great name recognition, and is a very well respected company. Their management training programs are well known and can be a great start to your career.

Cons

As with any large organization, the bureaucracy can be difficult to work through. Management does not move quickly to make decisions. GE is of course going through some interesting times, with businesses being sold off and reorganizations occurring leading to instability within some businesses, but is a sign of the times. Employee morale could be better. Traditionally, GE isn't a great paymaster since they believe it's made up for through the opportunity to work at GE at all.
