      Had been a great company to work for, not sure if it still is...

      Pros

      High compensation, cutting edge work and a good brand name.

      Cons

      Graphics market is becoming increasingly competitive and even though Nvidia has been great in execution over past few years, it is going to get tough in future, especially with Intel and AMD becoming a competitive threat to Nvidia in the discrete graphics market.

      Pros

      Huge company, lots of different kinds of opportunities, pretty amenable to people switching jobs. Great pay and benefits. Management seems willing to make the tough decisions necessary to keep the place open and profitable, including trimming the dead weight. Most of my co-workers are very smart, rational people. Like anywhere, promotion depends on luck as well as ability.

      Cons

      Sometimes there is an attitude of "We are GE, we don't make mistakes". Hubris makes it a little hard to sell ideas that come from outside. We are unionized and our labor costs are absurd. This is headwind for everything we do, and frankly we have to sometimes use less-than--the-best materials to keep costs down.

      Great resume padding... if you can survive the bureaucracy and lies.

      Pros

      Great line on your resume, as long as the interviewer at your next company hasn't worked at GE...

      Cons

      Red tape, red tape, red tape - the bureaucracy has evolved into a monster preventing any flexibility in career advancement, education, or adjustment to business practice (even if that adjustment would bring on new customers and cut costs). EVERYTHING is over-promise and under-deliver, from bonuses to career advancement - management has a culture of lying to to employees and clients about everything - usually for absolutely no good reason.
