Pros
General Electric has great name recognition, and is a very well respected company. Their management training programs are well known and can be a great start to your career.
Cons
As with any large organization, the bureaucracy can be difficult to work through. Management does not move quickly to make decisions. GE is of course going through some interesting times, with businesses being sold off and reorganizations occurring leading to instability within some businesses, but is a sign of the times. Employee morale could be better. Traditionally, GE isn't a great paymaster since they believe it's made up for through the opportunity to work at GE at all.
