Pros

As long as you get your job done, no one bothers you. I loved my co-workers. I was able to work from home as necessary. Many benefits, such as 20 sick days a year.

Cons

Manager frequently said India engineers would work at half our salary.

Had three remote managers in a year, so no decent review.

RIF'd, then offered another position with similar responsibilities at 50% of previous wages.

Lost 401k contribution because I wasn't vested, at no fault of my own.

Advice to Management

Invest in your talent and retain them.

Everyone I talk to has done a stint at GE and gladly left.
