Pros

I got exactly what I was sold when I was recruited out of college into a leadership program and my career has taken me all over the world with exciting new roles.

Cons

Balance has improved since I started. Some of the leadership at acquisitions lack GE's values. The travel is a necessary part of the job that is more positive than not.

Freedom and power. Very big.

Cons

Culture is cut throat until people are there for 5 years - then they get lazy, but do make good permanat b players.

Pros

GE gives you the opportunity to work in different industries without leaving the parent company. Training programs are very good. Benefits seem to be slightly above average. I would say flexibility is high by leveraging electronic tools you can work from anywhere, at any time of the day. Recognition and extra rewards if you are rated high in you annual performance review.

Cons

GE has a strong corporate culture- an asset as it drives consistency between businesses- but also can feel rigid with little flexibility for outside thinking. As an employee, the bar is always moving higher and job security is always a question in the back of your mind.
