Pros
- Best Company to learn from - They develop the best leaders in the world - Teaching/Learning Peers, Mentors, Leaders - They become like true family - Best Business Ethics ever experienced in a Large Global Co - GE does drop kick the "D" Players that may perform well, but are real jerks. Since leaving to test the waters and grow in other Industries, I am amazed at how most companies are inept at dealing with and quantifying the cost of jerks wandering around as bright shiny stars. No need for that as GE Teaches that you can have both exceptional people and exceptional performance at same time. Limitless career opportunities. You can really go anywhere and do anything. There are always emerging businesses, things to do, leaders to learn from. - This is the only company I have worked for that I have recommended to Friends - I do not regret leaving as after being at GE for many years, I was recruited out for an opportunity I could not refuse. I found the skills learned at GE to be superior in many ways in operations, leadership, finance, Quality, Innovation, Collaboration, Human Capital and HR. Other companies have not compared. Now nearing retirement, I mentor and encourage students to highly consider a career at GE.
Cons
Only one con and regret is that you get sucked in so deep that you do forget to have a life and you never get the time back. It takes a lot to keep advancing and as you learn more, you tend to give more but it's important to learn how to take vacations some times.
