Pros: Great place to work, in simple words. It is a competitive, dynamic, and challenging workplace. GE has a very good working culture. Management is very strong. To put it simply, in Jack Welch's words: "Get Better or Get Beaten." This is how GE works.

Cons: Very poor pay scale. Process oriented. Sometimes things get very slow, which can be frustrating at times.

Pros: Never sedentary, always busy. Ample opportunities for top performers. Endless variety of work. Many competent co-workers. Fairly stable, regimented. Well-defined processes. Interesting possibilities.

Cons: Old-school management rife with mean-spirited and loud-mouthed alpha-male managers, poor benefits, marginal pay, meager pay increases, poor work/life balance, a cut-throat competitive atmosphere, ruthless downsizing and relocation when business units change focus, an inability to listen to suggestions/improvements, upper management viewed poorly by all below them, secretive management cliques, promotions decided in back-room deals, “worker bees” get poor explanation of confusing directives, promotion of “spin doctors” with poor results over those with stronger skills/performances, brown nosing encouraged and key to getting ahead, shameless self-promotion required for recognition, and hard-working veteran employees forced into retirement after many years of 60+ hours weeks and company dedication.

Pros: People are mostly good, driven, and kind.

Cons: Lack of coordination and focus.
