Pros

You can gain lots of experience and responsibility quickly. It is a stable predictable company to work for. You can have a long career here and keep yourself busy learnign new things all the time. There are a ton of training opportunities available. GE won't make you rich, but it will pay enough that you won't be poor either.

Cons

Large beuracracy. Pay raises are small and follow strict guidelines. There is not much opportunity to increase your salary except to sit and wait as you get older and slowly collect incremental yearly raises. Getting anything done is slow and painful. I guess this can't be helped when dealing with important technology.

Pros

There is a good name that is associated with GE. That is probably the best part of working for GE. It's a well-known and steady company. There were a lot of company resources available even to an intern, such as a laptop, office, and etc. For the most part I found everyone to be extremely helpful.

Cons

Extremely unorganized. I really don't know how some of the VPs became VPs without any prior experience. A lot of politics in the office. Some of the managers really disliked one another, but I think this has become standard in offices. A lot of meetings were pointless and unproductive. No one ever listened or cared and as a result work would never be completed.
