Pros

GE is a performance-centric company. Everything is measurable and measured. So, whether or not one is doing a good job is never a question. As a result, employees who are competitive and wants to grow are inspired. You meet many smart, competent, competitive, type-A people in GE.

Cons

Lower pay scale than competitors. Must accept military style commands. If one wants to get promoted, one must move everywhere. It can happen anytimee.

Pros

Good to start your career and move on. You career opportunities are based in who you know and not in your performance.

Cons

Structure is not there, they take to long to decide anything, and there is no clear message on where the company is going, and at first sign of trouble they take on head count.
