Pros

-big company -strong brand on CV -diverse business portfolio -access to career oppty at GE

Cons

-Too much politics and power play, some managers can change the work environment in a negative way. Top management only cares about how they can deliver, there needs to be a balance to develop mid managers

Pros

It's media ... where else can you say Jimmy Fallon in the elevator and Brian Williams at lunch? Definitely an interesting area, with a lot of room to learn and make a difference.

Cons

I feel that the HR and management here is by far the worst I've ever seen. There's many days that I just want to leave the company due to their incompetence, and am usually in a frustrated state with any of my dealings with them. It seems like a generally uncontrolled chaos that magically comes up with decisions that impact the rest of the organization.

Pros

"Sexy" industry, decent work life balance(can depend on role and division, but for most part, tolerable), most superiors genuinely care about your development, teams willing to share credit and tout the good work of others, fantastic/generous company benefits, great entry-level training programs

Cons

Not always great communication between and within divisions, corporate environment can limit creativity, cross-functional roles not always encouraged, perks not widespread (concentrated within certain divisons, employees, or groups), training not as touted/widespread-requires being proactive, not very flexible on movements within parent company (General Electric)
