General Electric

It's a large company, so lots of benefits (medical/dental/vision). When you're ready to move to a new position, word of mouth definitely spreads through the company.

Your experience within GE will totally depend on what site and part of the business you are in. I am at a manufacturing site, in a company that was acquired by GE several years ago. This site has still retained the culture of the small company, and I have had a pretty negative experience.

Those at a headquarters site, such as Atlanta, GA, CT, or Cincinnati, OH, will have a totally different experience because those sites have much more of the GE culture and also more opportunities for growth.

Work on integrating acquired businesses into the GE culture. It's not enough to simply buy a company and change the branding outside.
