Pros

GE was wonderful company when I joined and heaps of learning, leadership was awesome and working environment was absolutely marvelous.

Cons

In the last 1 and 1/2 year GE has become a terrible place to work, so much close approach for employee, massive cost cut organization wide, firing people on regular basis, so bureaucratic approach, less opportunities and no growth values. Since GE has sold its finance business, they have started become pain, I did not want to say but really a third class company from a first class company. I was not expecting that GE will fall like this. Seriously not worth to even consider working for GE.

Pros

Great people and oppurtunites for leadership development.

Cons

Culture is going downhill due to short term thinking and obsession with forecasting. This obsession is getting inn the way of serving customers and at expense of employee experience . Also benefits have deteriorated over the years with more and more costs passed on to the employee. No vacation time is earned, with a false story about the company providing "unlimited" vacation time.

Pros

Opportunities - geographically, industry, etc

Cons

Options limited if you don't start right out of college and are part of the development program. Hierarchy structure is the worst I've seen. All creates a "look at me" culture.
