Pros

From day one you get great exposure to great leaders and business folks. This program is a continuous learning experience where the company provides all the tools necessary to stay to date on your field and what’s happening with the business. There’s always a chance to provide your opinion and show that you have what it takes to add value. You do not only learn from your area but from all business functional areas and components. Salary is fair compared to the market. There are plenty of opportunities to move up in the business and also find what you like to do.

Cons

Sometimes there are too much leaders with low technical skills since they are delegated to vendors, contractor and other groups. People can get very rough during meetings and push unrealistic timelines and can be very harsh. If you do not consider yourself with the skills of pushing what you want when you want it and do whatever it takes to get what you want across GE is certainly not your environment.

Pros

Top Notch leadership programs. Great pay but would probably get paid more for same job some place else. Lots of networking opportunities through the various affinity groups within company. Chance to travel internationally.

Cons

Work long hours, especially if you are at the top. In spite of lots of talk about work/life balance, it is difficult to achieve it. Performance review is so long and complex you have to go to meetings in order to make sure you grasp the concept and do it right.
