Pros

Very large international network that makes it very challenging from a information security standpoint. You will get lots of experience and challenges thrown at you on a daily basis that you will not see anywhere else because of the vast scale of the network.

Cons

Work for GE not as a contractor if you can. Contractor positions can be shaky but GE positions are very stable. Communication is very poor and there is a lot of political garbage that goes on between the corporate security team and the rest of the teams. This is because they have a leader who is more interested in his next book than actually establishing good relationships between teams. This makes for very poor information sharing and make it very difficult to do your job.

Pros

Diverse company, lots of businesses within to interact with. Having "GE" on the resume looks good to outside parties or in conversation.

Cons

Changed to a horrible healthcase plan the year after no raises were given. Almost all internal postings at the midrange to higher levels prefer some GE program, this limits opportunities to those who just came to the company for a standard job. Corporate politics. Promotions seem to be given to people that do more talking than working. Most management heads admit they leave hard working employees in the same position, rather than promote. Annual evaluation process is long and repetitive, once it is done there is no further feedback given to employees on how all the information is used or processed
