Pros
Internal Training for people starting their careers. People can find it useful to get some GE training and experience for a couple of years and then move on to more stable employment where internal politics dont trump everything
Cons
1. Confusion, turmoil, churning resulting from attempts to achieve "Dashboard" metrics goals. 2. The pain of being stuck in a job where your boss and their middle management bosses are self promoting, Lost in Space- Dr Smith types. GE Energy promotes "leaders" who never had and seldom achieve competence or long term experience in the areas where they lead. 10% of the middle managers actually have experience with the product lines they proport to manage i.e. Appliance leader talking to paper mill energy manager. 3. Long term employment prospects are greatly dimmed by losses in technology for its new equipment and retirement of their technical experts. "You can buy better but you wont pay more." 4. Processes and equipment created with the design for six sigma and toll gate systems will create dread and pain for all employees involved. Avoid if at all possible
