      Pros

      The projects and work scope. Many of people and managers are knowledgable. The product is high-tech for its class. The pay is good. The vacations are good and easy to take off. Lots of personal days and sick days available. Good set of Holidays. Lots of extra GE Volunteer activities. Encouraged to be involved in the Infinity Groups and activities. Lots of chances to meet upper management during the Infinity Group acitivities.

      Cons

      Very competitive to the point of everyone for themselves... no sense of team-spirit... no sense of company pride. The people are cruel and back-stabbing. Even when managers and HR are aware of it, they do not address it. They just let it go on and say that it's the culture of the company and that they forgot how hard it is for new people coming in.

      Don't expect to be rewarded for performance; politics are more important here.

      Pros

      The pay is mediocre for hourly employees here. The benefits, if you take advantage of them, are fairly good; your standard medical/dental/vision, standard 401(k) matching, FSA, EAP, tuition reimbursement, and a smattering of less interesting things (we do get decent discounts on large appliances, from what I understand). There are GE sites all over the world, so if you have a destination in mind, it's possible to transfer within the company to almost anywhere if you can manage to get hired.

      Cons

      Interdepartmental communication is very bad. Improving it is discussed frequently, but nothing is ever done. There are many internal mechanisms for controlling and improving things, but if other sites are like this one, they are poorly implemented if at all. "Lean" is pushed heavily, which means departments operate on skeleton crews, and then additional employees are laid off to get the remaining employees to try and work even harder to keep up with deadlines and meet SLAs. The practice of opening jobs earmarked for specific employees and wasting everyone's time interviewing people for a job they have no hope of being hired for seems to be commonplace, so you need to make friends in high places if you want to get anywhere.
