Pros

Better benefit package compare to competitions, for example, pension plans and matching 401K contributions. Parent company, GE, is strong and reliable and will not likely going down for a while.

Cons

GE as the parent company, too much politics in the environment. Big company makes it harder to be recognized and ultimately makes promotion harder and slower.
