Pros

GE is a big company with many opportunities to move around or up in. My division is extremely flexible regarding schedules and people's personal needs. It sounds like that is a company wide attribute as well. The benefits are decent as well.

Cons

Every division or site seems to be different so I don't know if there are any real company wide downsides. It is a large company so it can be difficult to figure out the company wide systems. My impression is that the company tends to value managers more than non-management employees which is good or bad depending on your point of view.

Pros

A lot of opportunities if you are a good work politician - also depending on department, direct supervisor, etc. (of course). Expect to work hard, and compete with top notch talent (and know that "so so" performance will never cut it). Yes, I see this as a plus.

Cons

Dis-organized, too many changes, no direct or clear job responsibilities, nor even a title in some cases. It has been said many, many times, there is an official policy at GE (for any given solution), and there is also always an underground reality of how things get done. No one will ever speak of the reality on a conference call or in an email or pitch, but you will have to know it to get anything done, you may have to support it and be part of it. Senior staff at GE sees a scrubbed view of the solutions it employs.
