Pros

Great experience; 'Trial-By-Fire' experience; Opportunities for growth & career advancement; Hard to get fired if you are hard-working; GE Energy will look very good on your resume.

Cons

Very political - terms such as "back-stabbing" and "thrown under the bus" are very commonly used to describe employee relations amongst other GE Energy employees; Company suffers from many of the common stereotypes associated with large corporations; Salary adjustments (raises) are very small, and only happen every 14 to 24 months. Promotions within the company do not warrant salary increases - increased responsibilities, change in job title (promotion) do not warrant a raise - no comparative analysis is performed.

Pros

GE is a great company with an amazing reputation. There is a lot of opportunity inside of GE Transportation and GE as a company. The benefits package is said to be incredible.

Cons

GE is going to work you very hard. Depending on your role with GE, vacations and time off become non-existent. There are always calls 24-hrs a day (part of being a global company), and 60-hour weeks are the norm....not the exception.
