If you have the self-discipline for self-learning, there are many opportunities there.
Pay and benefits are okay. 401k matching is fairly good.
GE doesn't seem to really care about its people anymore. It is very risk-averse. I was told that in order to be successful at GE I needed to be an aggressive a-hole (which is not my character). Even if you are within budget, funding for your project may be cut with only a day or two of notice. Typical 50+ hour work week. You can talk about GLBT (gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders), but to mention Christ is forbidden.
The vision of what is going on and where GE is headed is not transferred downstream very well. Change is slow, and there is not much recognition.

Easy company to interview for. The questions were simple and the people were friendly. I can't think of anything bad to say about the interview process. The technical side was a little difficult but reasonable.
