Pros

It is a large company that can provide a lot of avenues to continue in your career, a large amount of experience handling a larger variety of issues than one would find at another company, and is highly recognized by other institutions. Also, there is a great possibility to move up within the company.

Cons

It is a large company so sometimes communication is lacking on projects or issues.

Pros

GE is a great place to work overall. The core of GE Philosophy is personal and career growth. There is no better place to work then somewhere you are not only enabled but encouraged to grow. The company is very ethical and makes you proud to be an employee. Ideas are not only encouraged, but often you will get the support to implement them as well. Finally, the advancement opportunities are endless. If you have drive and flexibility, you can easily find a role which suits your career interests. Additionally, the company is very flexible about things like flex time, work from home, or other opportunities if you work it out with your manager.

Cons

Typically the job is higher stress then you might find elsewhere as the motto of GE is personal responsibility. You are always challenged to grow, which can lead to long hours and stress at times. the pay is not as competitive as some other companies for the same job, but this is offset by the growth and advancement opportunities. Many locations have poor buildings (very old) and are not a great environment to work in. Some are moldy, have shoddy bathrooms, or are generally gross. Perks are low (free coffee is about it generally), but there are things like on site fitness center and dry cleaning to offset some of the facilities issues.
