Pros

Huge field of opportunities to grow; amazingly talented people. Competitive pay and benefits. Very strong values around integrity (ethics), from the top down.

Cons

I worked for GE from 1989 to 2012. I was - and am - proud to have worked there. However, I saw two trends emerge around 2005 that bothered me - and it took me 7 years to decide to move on.

They have build a framework for working style which they call Fastworks which is based on lean startup principles. lot of focus on simplification and customer first mindset. following are company's believes: Customers determine our success (Customer focused priorities, urgent customer needs) Stay Lean to go fast (Lean Start-up/Fastworks/MVP/Build Measure Learn, service of speed and teamwork, flexible and responsive to the market., help streamlined a process and remove waste) Learn and adapt to win (open to learning and relentless improvement, fail fast to learn, remain competitive) Empower and inspire each other (Every one is a Leader, Encourages everyone to share his/ her opinion or viewpoint to improve the process. Deliver results in an uncertain world (act with urgency and play to win. handle changing priorities and deliver results faster.)

Cons

GE is going through hard times financially so not much opportunities to grow. We have many restrictions on anything that cost money i.e. travel for business, training,. too many processes and required approvals o get something done.
