Pros

GE will constantly provide you with great challenges which will push you to your limit every day. The management tends to be friendly, and most people there care about you as a person and employee.

Cons

The bureaucracy of most large companies are bad, and GE is one of the largest. If you can't play the political game you are either shoehorned into a particular role or forgotten about. Old-world style managers will make their way upwards while very talented individuals will be used for their abilities, but will ultimately suffer in their personal lives as a result. You can make it big at GE--for a price.

Pros

Pay was appropriate for the position. Management was active.

Cons

They expect employees to give free overtime. Salary is expected to work overtime without reason. Hourly are expected to work overtime without pay, even if there is a reason. Management will protect themselves first. No one is truly good at their job because employees are constantly being moved.
