Pros: GE offered great training, including both on-the-job training as well as a generous tuition reimbursement program.

Cons: In a large company, you often must go through several levels of management to do things that might be out of the ordinary.

Pros: Good salary and environment. People are nice.

Cons: Company not doing well with business.

Pros: This company provides challenging work, the opportunity to work with talented colleagues, and the power industry is a great one to be involved in, with much growth potential in the future. The design side of this company is a great place to develop oneself as an engineer. Naturally, in such a large corporation, the benefits package is excellent.

Cons: There are limited promotion opportunities within the company. There is a recent "technical career path," but it has yet to be vetted, and the consensus has always been that management is the only way to make any money. Compensation (salary) is also below average in general compared to other companies. The rating system can cause a great amount of frustration for design engineers, as your raises are based on your performance versus your peers. You have the option of working in a challenging environment and being punished by having mediocre raises, or excelling at a boring job.
