Great resume padding... if you can survive the bureaucracy and lies.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great line on your resume, as long as the interviewer at your next company hasn't worked at GE...

Cons

Red tape, red tape, red tape - the bureaucracy has evolved into a monster preventing any flexibility in career advancement, education, or adjustment to business practice (even if that adjustment would bring on new customers and cut costs). EVERYTHING is over-promise and under-deliver, from bonuses to career advancement - management has a culture of lying to to employees and clients about everything - usually for absolutely no good reason.

Internship- Great learning experience and an eye-opener into GE culture.

Business Outlook

Pros

I feel that there is no glass ceiling in GE and it has a reasonable meritocracy, since there are so many higher-level positions available. Also, the benefits are pretty good. An internship at GE is a great way to learn and I am given adequate responsibilities

Cons

"Doing more with less" seems to be the mantra at GE- I frequently see salaried workers at their desks 60-70 hours a week, while the hourly workers have paid lunch. Also, the environment is very competitive. My ideas are frequently shot down when I'm heading my own projects, but then my manager gives his own opinion for the project and thus, the new way of the project is decided.

Personal development and how they want you to change jobs and grow within there.
