Pros

The work is faced paced and interesting. I worked as an IT person for ten years. The business experiences constant change. Because of this opportunities exist to implement "creative" solutions IF YOUR ARE PERSISTENT and are willing to take a few risks, which most people are not. Most people work remotely on weekends, and the company is fair with family situations (death in the family, health situations, children situation)

Cons

The management is GE driven. That is to say it is like the "Attack of the Clones". They are all driven to succeed without the necessary talent to back it up. True GE bean counters. It has caused a significant culture clash between NBC creative types (which drive the business) and GE management. Also, as an IT professional I do not like their 80/20 rule. SImply put, 80% of the work offshored, 20% done by H1-B workers. Walking down the isles of the IT departments is like being in Bangalore. Because of this there is no career path for tech workers since all tech work has been or will be taken by foreign workers. Mediocre technical staff.

Pros

Great perks and benefits! Free theme park tickets, cable, peacock subscription. Good place for interns

Cons

Entry level pay is very poor and not sustainable. Lot of politics when it comes to promotions and it is based more on relationship with management rather than actual performance. Upper management just takes all your work and presents as their own. Fake it till you make is at every level of this organization. Hired people as remote and now is laying everyone off.
