Pros

It was a place with great people, and great process. (If your not into process clearly might not be a good place for you)

Cons

It's a very large compnay and all the units don't always work together; so think of your self of more working for one of the GE companies rather than GE as a whole

Pros

GE is in a large number of industries in a large number of locations. You can do anything and go anywhere in the company. If things ever don't work out, GE is something to be proud of on your resume. In the workplace the best thing was that GE excels at recruiting people who know how to work, so you can always count on your team and other co-workers to get their part done, and done well.

Cons

A lot of the management worries to much about formalities and arbitrary manners. In my intern group (20+ students) we would have entire meetings just to prep for meeting with higher level executives. Another issue is that the size of the company can make it difficult to be heard.

Pros

Very smart people but not the most innovative. Plenty of opportunities to learn. Being part of the GE family.

Cons

Older management and workers (engineers) slowing down the business. Communication between P&Ls happens at the top level or by chance. Food in the Atlanta and Schenectady campus is expensive and worse than prison food. Schenectady is a very depressing place to work.
