Pros: The company is competitive in salary.

Cons: The work environment can be high pressure.

Pros: Good job as an engineer.

Cons: No cons as an engineer.

Pros: GE looks impressive on your resume to some people. Nice building. They teach you how to give a good pitch!

Cons: The whole experience of being a GE employee is a downside. GE is constantly hiring and firing people. They staff up for projects and then, when the project is complete, lay people off. GE has layoffs down to a science, which is something they pride themselves on. Your coworkers are constantly joking nervously about the layoffs. Coworkers are not friends; they are your competitors, and they will screw you if they can because it is the difference between staying employed and getting let go. GE expects that you put in a ton of hours all the time, so much for work-life balance. Between worrying about getting let go and putting in a ton of hours, most GE employees hate the world. Stay away from this place at all costs. Quite frankly, you're better off unemployed than working here.
