Good Company - Highly Ethical

Business Outlook

Pros

This company had an incredibly robust compliance program. It makes employees very comfortable to work in an ethical environment. Also very big on community service and volunteerism. You don't hear much about these two attributes but really make GE a nice place to work. Sure there is hard work and even some office politics ( although not as much as I have seen in other companies) but working in an ethical place that values employee involvement to help others is really a nice environment.

Cons

This is not the place for people who don't want to give 100% to the job. Internal competitiveness is strong. You can't hide or coast.
