Pros
Great growth opportunities in expanding business segments when coming off internal leadership programs Interesting products and technology- engineers will have a field day Great perks for top performing teams and senior management Competitive salary and bonuses Always attempt to retain top level talent Good launch pad to another company when working for a limited period of time
Cons
Corporate politics tough for employees not properly trained; must be aggressive to seek promotions Always driving to metrics affecting the bottom line without properly identifying root cause of problems Stretch employee headcounts thin to cut costs Many employees really are simple numbers to senior management Leadership programs essentially function as internal MBA for GE; however are not viewed in same light elsewhere
