Pros

Great benefits. Good environment to learn and grow. If you are willing to relocate, opportunities are endless at GE.

Cons

Long hours. They give everyone a laptop to make sure you can work late nights. This is an environment where management will feed you projects and keep feeding them to you until you scream. It's all about doing more with less (people). Resource constrained, stretch opportunities are all key words used to describe your life at GE.

Never enough people for a project, and management is always looking for team members to stretch beyond their over-burdened role into new areas.

Advice to Management

Long days and little reward leave the worker bees a bit short on morale.
