Pros

It encourages the talent inside me to grow and let me share my thoughts to improve or review the job process. Helps me to be resourceful. This means that I'm equipped well and in an effective way in order to find and manage resources on my own to facilitate the execution of job or project in the best optimal way which would be a win-win situation for both company and the customer. The employees are neutral and friendly. There is no politics and leg-pulling culture. One would feel completely independant to execute his job. Of course, a great company with a clear vision and goals and objectives.

Cons

The finance and HR sections are a bit nuisance sometimes. The company expects its employees to devote time beyond the working normal hours so that the execution of the jobs or the projects could be carried out in the best way possible. There is a very much work load. Sometimes, it is left upon you to balane the life between job and the family. This makes the task a bit more difficult and stressful. One shocking aspect is that one is expected to initiate the process of visas and related stuff on one's own since the company does not take much responsibility in this regard.

Pros

It looks really good on your resume. The company's name has some prestige to it.

Cons

Top management would not talk to you if you were a lowly analyst. They work you to the bone and don't pay you enough. Although GE is the top company in the world, it does not feel like that when you are working there. Alot of management had absolutely no people skills; they just knew how to work alot of hours. I had a supervisor who made inappropriate comments to interns and they did nothing. There were also a contract employee who was sexually harassing women and they did nothing with him. Alot of employees at GE hated life and their jobs.

GE is a stable strong company to work for with jobs all over the world. GE provides good health and retirement benefits. GE has competent management.

If you are not in management you get no bonuses, profit sharing, stock purchase plan or any other perks. Non-management workers work for a paycheck and a pension.
