      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -options are wind energy, gas or steam turbines, generators, nuclear -opportunities abroad -opportunites in different businesses -employee discounts at many places -prestige when finding other jobs because everyone recognizes GE -Edison engineering development program is what all the leadership development programs at other companies is based off of. -get to work with competent colleagues

      Cons

      -lots of bureaucracy, esp starting out you need to get request access to basic things everyone knows you need but you still need to get approval for. -some politics -casual overtime is expected in certain departments -stock is currently down to the point where they are not hiring anyway

      Working in the World of GE.

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      GE is a global network of professional opportunity. The company affords great benefits - including a flexible work schedule that enables one to truly work towards a healthy work/life balance. This has been key for me personally. I have been with GE for 6 years and was able to work from home for 4 of those.

      Cons

      Can be highly political, very intense...if one does function well in a pressure cooker then this probably wouldn't be the best work environment for him/her. As mentioned above the having the flexibility to work from how was a great perk. However, the downside is that there is never really a day off...it's a highly competitive work environment and it can be somewhat relentless. It was not uncommon to have to address work issues and to work on holidays, weekends and vacations. No one in the business ever truly shuts down or turns off work.

      An excellent place to work.

      Fire alarm technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The potential to advance is there if one is willing to work for it. They train for the job, and the pay is awesome, as well as the benefits and extras. They are supportive in and out of the job. It is a challenging job, but not so challenging that one cannot learn to do it. It is a very friendly and fun atmosphere. Probably the best job I have ever had.

      Cons

      The only downside I have found is that they don't coordinate to have the same technician on the job. I have ended up starting half way through someone else's job and it does get confusing.
