Pros

My role gives me a lot of satisfaction. Allowed to focus on the important few priorities without been rated negatively when the others are neglected. Being a multinational there are great opportunities to relocate around the world and the top performers are not discouraged from doing so. Even though you are worked hard, there is generally an air of positivity and good nature within the teams.

Cons

A lot of uncertainty and lack of job security within some of the business units given Immelt's portfolio management work. Seemingly every week something is sold or trying to be sold. Lack of appetite for giving managers enough people to get stuff done means you are worked hard. Work/Life balance is heavily favored towards work.

Pros

It is a research lab where latest academic research outcomes can be applied to many real-world applications. The working environment is also very comfortable.

Cons

If I have to say something bad about GE GRC, it is that its location is not as good as other competing research labs.

Pros

You can gain lots of experience and responsibility quickly. It is a stable predictable company to work for. You can have a long career here and keep yourself busy learnign new things all the time. There are a ton of training opportunities available. GE won't make you rich, but it will pay enough that you won't be poor either.

Cons

Large beuracracy. Pay raises are small and follow strict guidelines. There is not much opportunity to increase your salary except to sit and wait as you get older and slowly collect incremental yearly raises. Getting anything done is slow and painful. I guess this can't be helped when dealing with important technology.
