      Pros

      GE holds true to it's reputation as a leadership development factory with world class training and plenty of opportunity to challenge and grow your management skills. It remains a steadily growing business even in a tough economy.

      Cons

      GE talks the talk about work-life balance but the truth is to truely advance in the company it takes making work #1 in your life. It takes the combination of a special person dedicating 80+ hour work weeks and relocating every few years to move up quickly. High stress environment with little reward recognition. "Pats on the back" for a good job are few and far between.

      Decent place to work, but can be boring

      Pros

      Working for GE allows to a lot of opportunities to move around, especially for interns. There are a number of programs available that allow for quick advancement and rotational positions. GE is a big company, but my location was pretty felt small and sedated. Being a intern I don't really know what kind of benefits full time employees get, but I get the impression that GE benefits are pretty decent. I liked my coworkers.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, as an intern I didn't get much interesting work to do. I didn't get much real useful experience. Employee services like Payroll and IT are centralized and/or outsourced, and are thus a nightmare to work with. It took a week or two just to get setup to use a computer, and a few more just to get a paycheck.

      Pros

      Hands on with the product and involvement with the customers. You can be as involved as you want to at any level. Management is open to ideas on improving the product for the customer and business. A offhanded suggestion made may be the next multi million dollar project. You as an individual help to shape the future of the company

      Cons

      very lean.. some positions are 1 deep with lots of deliverables. Company does not backfill jobs until they are empty and this leaves knowledge gaps. Reward system is based more on movement from one role to the next instead of rewarding for building expertise in current role
