Great place to start a career, but get out before you become institutionalized.

Pros

GE is a great place to start a career. Although you wont make a ton of money right out of school, you will be able to leverage your experience into a more profitable position down the road. GE offers many leadership training options that are taught in house and can be very valuable.

Cons

GE, as a company, pretends to care about their employees but the real focus is the bottom line. Most employees have no personal stake in the company's success or failure and consequently are only motivated to advance their own career. This can foster a highly competitive hierarchy in which there exists little camaraderie.

Pros

great reputation company, well respected. It si important for the management integrity and honest behaviuor which makes the company a safe place to work.

Cons

too much bureaucracy, sometimes difficult to advance in the career. If you are not part of a leadership program it is very very hard to move in your career and you are lost in the organizaton.
