Pros

- You get to travel if you want to - Stable company with big portofolio. Will still be around tomorrow - Performance is rewarded (at least in theory)

Cons

- Constant competition rather than cooperation with other teams within the company - GE keeps on buying additional companies because it fails to grow 'organically' and looks no further than the next quarterly figures. - Burocracy: a lot of time and effort lost on useless trainings and procedures - Little innovation. Focus on maintenance existing products, rather than the next generation - Internal e-mails and self-promotional meterial is always full of slogans promoting the 'GE' values and virtues. But they are entirely empty: they promote the same values at their military production sites as in the Healthcare business.

Pros

-a lot of smart and talented people work here -reasonable pay and benefits -nice coworkers -some remote work opportunities, albeit decreasing over time

Cons

-mixed leadership - some good leaders, some terrible ones -ridiculously onerous processes - their QMS system is ludicrously conservative and involves literally hundreds of documents to make one product -sourcing takes 10x longer than it should -tolerance of poor performers and way too high a bar to get rid of them -bad annual raises - often lower than inflation these past few years - and weakly based on personal performance
