Pros

Education, visibility, etc. are all pros at GE. They do a great job of training their employees. Challenging work is also a pro.

Cons

Pay is by far the biggest con. They used to be known for average pay and above average benefits, but they now have below average healthcare. Pay is still satisfactory, but you can get better elsewhere.

Pros

GE has a vast amount of resources within the company. I was able to discuss all different types of engineering with many officials. Good programming events.

Cons

When I initially had issues with my relationship with my manager, HR was concerned but didn't follow through. Ended up as a summer where I didn't do much actual work, and just took GE's money, even after tell them that was exactly what my internship had come to.

Pros

For the most part you are surrounded by smart and motivated people. If you have a track record of success, you will have the opportunity to move into different areas (i.e. finance to sales). GE’s reputation for having great training and leadership development carries a lot of weight with other companies. I genuinely liked most of the people I worked with and made many friends while working with GE.

Cons

When times got rough, GE went back to its comfort zone. The “old boys” club is very much still in place. Generally speaking, GE still very much has a top down / command and control management approach. GE was trying to embrace innovation, but for the most part management does not really encourage it. The current year’s operating goals are priority one. Management and HR very much believe that GE is the greatest company in the world and that it is a privilege to work there. They take pride in paying employees below market. The most successful employees seem to have started with GE right out of college and have never experienced what it is like to work for another company.
