Pros

GE is a big company and has many resources. GE really has great people that work there. Most are type "A" personalities who want to achieve and are driven and it's nice to work with those types of people. GE gives employees great benefits and recognizes those who perform.

Cons

GE doesn't give out bonuses for performance and base salaries are not the best in the market. Senior leaders do not connect with their employees and seem to make decisions in a bubble. Their egos are definitely inflated.

Pros

Huge potential to grow within the company! The runway in GE is fairly long, and growth opportunities are definitely there if you go through the FMP program. The FMP program provides fundamental skills and technical knowledge to be highly successful in your next career step by combining real hands on training and classroom sessions. 2/3 of GE’s CFOs have graduated from this prestigious program.

Cons

The program is extremely prestigious internally at GE. However, externally the FMP program is virtually unknown. Outside of the northeast area, the FMP program is non-existent and will not provide the same level of opportunities you have within GE. That being said, there is a feeling of being “trapped” at GE unless your willing to shift into the slower track externally. However, the GE name does say a lot on your resume.

Pros

It's very good for your career, to gain some inside prespective of what are the inercias of one of the biggest companies in the world. Lots of contacts inside and outside the company, all over the world.

Cons

Big company but very difficult to move among business units in order to evolve. No HR support regarding a career plan. The company don't trust in their workers.
