Pros

The EID co-op program provides great opportunities for career development -- especially if you're interested in applying for GE's leadership programs -- and provides competitive salaries and benefits. If you're willing to take on a large project, GE will be more than happy to give it to you.

Cons

EID interns don't technically get paid sick days but most managers will let you take them off anyway or let you make up hours.

Pros

Freedom to make decisions and autonomy.

Cons

Evaluation system. The evaluation methodology of GE arbitrarily giving some a poor performance just because is sad. There is a possibility that everyone on the team is,"Doing there job/"

Pros

GE holds true to it's reputation as a leadership development factory with world class training and plenty of opportunity to challenge and grow your management skills. It remains a steadily growing business even in a tough economy.

Cons

GE talks the talk about work-life balance but the truth is to truely advance in the company it takes making work #1 in your life. It takes the combination of a special person dedicating 80+ hour work weeks and relocating every few years to move up quickly. High stress environment with little reward recognition. "Pats on the back" for a good job are few and far between.
