      GE is a great mediocre place to work.

      Pros

      You can gain lots of experience and responsibility quickly. It is a stable predictable company to work for. You can have a long career here and keep yourself busy learnign new things all the time. There are a ton of training opportunities available. GE won't make you rich, but it will pay enough that you won't be poor either.

      Cons

      Large beuracracy. Pay raises are small and follow strict guidelines. There is not much opportunity to increase your salary except to sit and wait as you get older and slowly collect incremental yearly raises. Getting anything done is slow and painful. I guess this can't be helped when dealing with important technology.

      Pretty good place to start an internship, but it could be better.

      Pros

      There is a good name that is associated with GE. That is probably the best part of working for GE. It's a well-known and steady company. There were a lot of company resources available even to an intern, such as a laptop, office, and etc. For the most part I found everyone to be extremely helpful.

      Cons

      Extremely unorganized. I really don't know how some of the VPs became VPs without any prior experience. A lot of politics in the office. Some of the managers really disliked one another, but I think this has become standard in offices. A lot of meetings were pointless and unproductive. No one ever listened or cared and as a result work would never be completed.

      Good Start for Exposure, Learning, Training but debatable as viable longer term career choice

      Pros

      Leadership Development and training is excellent, with a wide variety of resources. Global exposure and solid operational mechanisms provide lots of internal infrastructure support. Variety of business experience exposure across various industries in finance, media, industrial, energy, medical, and transportation. Good benefits on par with large companies (401K, Health, Educational Reimbursement, etc.) and includes a pension.

      Cons

      Tremendously political organization and substantial complexity...there is more rewards and focus on flooking good in style than on actual results. Struggles to really innovate and be nimble despite the depth of talent and financial resources. GE tends to take long term employees for granted in many ways, so beware that although it is a great place to start, it may not be such a great place to finish or stick around. Large amount of acquisitions in past several years has diluted the previous high performance GE culture substantially.
