Pros
GE gives you the opportunity to fulfill all your career goals and recognises and rewards hard work. There is a wealth of on-line resources to help you do your job but not alot of on the job training. The organisation is constantly changing and you have to be flexible - this is something I enjoy as there are always challenges.
Cons
There is no work/life balance this is a message that is fed from the top. Deadlines are extremely tight and have to be met often resulting in 50 plus hour weeks and weekend work. The organisation is very short termist and it is often hard to see the longer term strategy. Compensation packages tend to be at market rate on entry but fail to keep pace with competitors after a couple of years in the job.
