Pros

GE gives you the opportunity to work in different industries without leaving the parent company. Training programs are very good. Benefits seem to be slightly above average. I would say flexibility is high by leveraging electronic tools you can work from anywhere, at any time of the day. Recognition and extra rewards if you are rated high in you annual performance review.

Cons

GE has a strong corporate culture- an asset as it drives consistency between businesses- but also can feel rigid with little flexibility for outside thinking. As an employee, the bar is always moving higher and job security is always a question in the back of your mind.

Pros

The best reason to work for GE would be to become part of the company that brews the next generation of leaders. The company focuses on leadership development and there are plenty of opportunities there. Everyone in the company works really hard and they drive you further as well. The interesting thing is that there is a culture of helping each other inside of GE, so it's collaborative competitive.

Cons

GE's compensation is not up to par with their competitors. On top of that, demanding hours and shitty locations is just typical of GE.
