      Pros

      Energized, driven team of smart people who are driven to succeed. One of GE's best units from a culture and leadership perspective. It's a business that operates in a tough industry so you will be challenged but you will learn a ton.

      Cons

      Very tough industry and competitors and the Company (GE) does not believe in/want us

      Welch was a tough act to follow, but c'mon !

      Pros

      Under Welch GE was a true meritocracy and you got the chance to stretch and grow. Impact and values determined mattered the most. I truly admired most all of my direct managers and valued their mentoring. It helped make me a confident, competent senior manager.

      Cons

      Under Immelt, the selection of world class senior managers deteriorated significantly. Jeff just lacks the capability to evaluate and select great senior managers. Also, career growth opportunities to move between business have become stagnant. This was at one time a source of great competitive edge for GE.

      Not the same company anymore ... lost basic roots of operational execution focus

      Pros

      Very bright people, great career opportunities and challenging jobs. For employees starting their careers it has wonderful leadership programs at entry levels that help you develop your professional skillset. The company has some of the brightest folks and a strong management bench so early on in your career you can learn and grow.

      Cons

      Work-life balance, highly political environment, internal promotions highly biased on network and not necessarily based on competence and skillset. GE is a demanding environment so work life balance is not part of the culture if you want to get ahead. After entry level jobs or leadership programs have been completed the career progression is heavily based on networking. People get promoted based on networking and behavior more then on their job performance, competence or skillset.
