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.

Pros

GE is know for creating world class leaders, and they have grat programs for Six Sigma, and Lean Management. They have lots of benefits including great prices on second rate appliances. You get great recognition on your resume.

Cons

If you are not in the right GE business you don't get the right programs. The do not pay well at all. Salary is almost always in the lower quartile unless executive band. Pay Pay Pay. They do not reward hard work and career bands are deceptively wide so a big move if in the same career band does not provide any benefit.
