Pros

There is a good name that is associated with GE. That is probably the best part of working for GE. It's a well-known and steady company. There were a lot of company resources available even to an intern, such as a laptop, office, and etc. For the most part I found everyone to be extremely helpful.

Cons

Extremely unorganized. I really don't know how some of the VPs became VPs without any prior experience. A lot of politics in the office. Some of the managers really disliked one another, but I think this has become standard in offices. A lot of meetings were pointless and unproductive. No one ever listened or cared and as a result work would never be completed.

Pros

Leadership Development and training is excellent, with a wide variety of resources. Global exposure and solid operational mechanisms provide lots of internal infrastructure support. Variety of business experience exposure across various industries in finance, media, industrial, energy, medical, and transportation. Good benefits on par with large companies (401K, Health, Educational Reimbursement, etc.) and includes a pension.

Cons

Tremendously political organization and substantial complexity...there is more rewards and focus on flooking good in style than on actual results. Struggles to really innovate and be nimble despite the depth of talent and financial resources. GE tends to take long term employees for granted in many ways, so beware that although it is a great place to start, it may not be such a great place to finish or stick around. Large amount of acquisitions in past several years has diluted the previous high performance GE culture substantially.
