Pros

there is a Constant Challenge to over deliver results. Work load is quite heavy but you need to learn to prioritize. It is more important to deliver excelent results on 5 items than half finished on 15. The exposure to senior level managers is very positive as is the accesibility to them. Corporate traning is among the best especially in the Crotonville training center. And a given but important above all today is that integrity is impecable.

Cons

Work life balance is a real challenge. The company will demand more out of you, your job to determine priorities. The resources are tight especially the people. Very lean organization. Work for the 500 lb gorilla ... lots of competition and many people like you. Really have to outperform the rest to stand out.

GE is #1 for leaders for a reason

Pros

Easy going environment at a great facility where completing your projects and networking is of utmost importance, and other 'business' things like 'face time' etc. are not as crucial here as they are at other firms. Everyone has a laptop, everyone has a VPN token - get the job done and you'll be golden.

Cons

Unfortunately, the downsides are somewhat linked to the up side. People enjoy their barriers of communication through email, im, phone - or heaven forbid you see them face to face. Lots of meetings (Which can be seen as a plus or minus)
