Pros

Working for GE allows to a lot of opportunities to move around, especially for interns. There are a number of programs available that allow for quick advancement and rotational positions. GE is a big company, but my location was pretty felt small and sedated. Being a intern I don't really know what kind of benefits full time employees get, but I get the impression that GE benefits are pretty decent. I liked my coworkers.

Cons

Unfortunately, as an intern I didn't get much interesting work to do. I didn't get much real useful experience. Employee services like Payroll and IT are centralized and/or outsourced, and are thus a nightmare to work with. It took a week or two just to get setup to use a computer, and a few more just to get a paycheck.

Pros

Hands on with the product and involvement with the customers. You can be as involved as you want to at any level. Management is open to ideas on improving the product for the customer and business. A offhanded suggestion made may be the next multi million dollar project. You as an individual help to shape the future of the company

Cons

very lean.. some positions are 1 deep with lots of deliverables. Company does not backfill jobs until they are empty and this leaves knowledge gaps. Reward system is based more on movement from one role to the next instead of rewarding for building expertise in current role
