Pros
Many advancement avenues, availability of professional advancement training, solid financial position. Opportunity to move on, career wise, to other GE business units. International presence gives careers in GE the oportunity to take on work assigments all over the World.
Cons
Bureaucracy, very little training for new hires, sink -or-swim placement. The 6 sigma cost containment methodology is applied far too aggressively to its employees, resulting in a widespread loss of morale that makes keeping talented individuals in GE harder. This is evidenced by few employees that remain more than 1 year at my site, the extensive unfilled positions, and the increase numbers of temporary contractors, that probably cost more to keep than regular employees
