Pros

GE as a company is good. They hired the worst possible Sybase rejects to lead the platform. If GE hires people with people skills this could be a good place to work.

Cons

People in manager positions have no clue what a platform is. Serious lack of people skills. There is widespread behavior bordering ethical misconduct. You will be *told* to work on weekends and not paid for it. If you don't there will repercussions.

Pros

Lots of smart people; generally a very professional atmosphere; opportunities for advancement, if you're willing to play the game.

Cons

Very aggressive and overbearing work schedule, work-life balance suffers. Their commitment to 'Lean' methodologies is almost a joke; you must get certified to help your career, but projects are done for the sake of doing projects, not really to help; every project I saw enacted actually made things worse. People are transient - you're expected to move around and change jobs every 2 years or so, or else you're seen as there being something wrong with you. People will implement some new process to make a name for themselves, and then move on and let someone else clean up the mess.
