Pros

Alot of opportunity if you are a hard worker. GE is place to be apart of a company with a world-class supply chain and manufacturing component. People who go above and beyond are rewarded and promoted. Most leader care about the people in their businesses and do whatever they can to make sure their teams are successful.

Cons

ALot of people and if you do not have a strong personality, it is easy to get lost in the fold. Its usually difficult to start with GE from the outside, do the the highly matrixed organizations and leadership structures...but that also creates alot of growth potential.

Pros

Working with great people in a very important field for the world right now. Exciting assignments and have a lot of options for growth.

Cons

It's huge. There are tons of people and a lot of learning how to do your job is learning who to know. People also move around so often that it can be difficult to keep up.

Pros

Experience, Exposure, Resume builder. The brand is powerful for both customers and prospective employees. Individual actions have a greater impact with so much resources behind you. Leadership programs are an excellent means to acquire a good perspective of the company and opportunities within the business. GE spends more on training than another other company i've seen.

Cons

Patience required, as the opportunity ladder takes a while to climb. Insiders are promoted first, so don't expect to come in quickly and change things. Locations are not glamorous and usually in a low cost manufacturing area. If you have a family that is bearable and affordable. If your looking for a fun single scene then look elsewhere.
