Pros
Competitive pay, lots of opportunities to try various different things if you are adventurous, the work of a leader here isn’t very mentally challenging.
Cons
Benefits are not competitive, there are lots of opportunities to move around but that is due to very high rates of turnover in various roles, despite leadership not being a very mentally challenging role here, it is very psychologically and emotionally taxing. You will be given very little genuine power or freedom, you will be told to enforce directives and initiatives that would destroy the business if you actually applied them, and you will be given goals that seem impossible and berated and punished if you don’t achieve them, and you will do this all with essentially zero help from anyone above you. You will have to consistently find ways to be successful despite who you work for, the company itself and its senior leadership is deeply problematic. A weird mixture of absentee and disconnected from reality, yet totalitarian and inflexible in how it will tell you to do your job. Hint, if you listen to them your business will collapse and your people will hate you (and you’ll get fired anyway by those same people for under performing anyway), so the bulk of your job is to find ways to “check the box” for what they are asking while attempting to run a legitimate business and be a successful leader. I don’t think anyone at the highest levels is aware of how close this whole business is to potentially imploding and never coming back. I imagine this is what the environment in GE felt like before things started to unravel.
