      Pros

      .GE invests heavily in people development. There is also a focus on common values. As a result The people at GE are top notch, hard working, down to earth people that you want to be on a team with. The career opportunities are also huge and endless.. It's actually possible to move too fast at this company,

      Cons

      Navigating the great bureaucracy. Sometimes feels like we produce nothing but excel and PowerPoint pitches. It takes a lot of stakeholder management and working across and up the matrix to get anything done. In the midst of a pretty significant drive to change to a more entrepreneurial culture. An ambitious and worthy goal but a long way to go.

      Pros

      GE offers entry level training programs in a variety of fields that provide you with an unparalleled early-career experience, and has well-defined tracks through the company for at least several years. You'll learn a lot, do a lot, and probably move a lot (hopefully for you that's a pro ... if not, shift it to the con section in your checklist!).

      Cons

      There are about as many employees working for GE as there are people living in the country of Iceland - 300,000+. That's one heck of a bureaucratic machine to deal with, and GE often suffers for it. Trying to change the direction of even a very small business unit can feel like trying to steer a cruise ship with a rudder the size of a credit card: you better be very patient, and not expect to radically overhaul anything. Additionally, GE's favorite technique for making quarterly numbers is to freeze travel and freeze hiring, so departments are chronically understaffed and unable to meet face to face with key stakeholders who may not be colocated with you.
